Unavoidable geometric imperfections complicate the load–displacement response of thin-
walled cold-formed steel (CFS) structural members. While the inclusion of geometric …

This article reviews research on cold-formed steel structures published in 2013 and 2014 in
three leading journals: the Journal of Structural Engineering, ASCE, Thin-Walled Structures …

Climate change poses a great challenge for biodiversity conservation. Several studies exist
regarding climate change's impacts on European plants, yet none has investigated how …

In this paper a novel method is employed for the buckling analysis of thin-walled members.
The method is basically a shell finite element method, but constraints are applied which …

In this paper a novel method for the analysis of thin-walled members is presented: the
constrained finite element method. The method is basically a shell finite element analysis …

Open-sections are often used in structural applications because of their material efficiency in
providing members of high strength and stiffness. Although previous research has made …

In this paper the generalization of the constrained finite strip method (cFSM) is provided.
cFSM is an extension of the semi-analytical finite strip method (FSM), where carefully …

Steel members using nonsymmetric sections are often used for their structural efficiency in
contemporary construction. Notwithstanding, the conventional concentrated plasticity (CP) …

Built-up tapered I-beams, which are mostly loaded so as to be under bending about their
strong axis for the economical use of the structural material, are commonly used in wide …

This paper presents the generalisation of an energy-based method for the modal
decomposition of buckled shapes of thin-walled members. This comprehensive method is …
