Although still in its infancy, metal additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing has now arrived
at a scale suitable for use in construction. The new technology offers the potential for …

Abstract The Continuous Strength Method (CSM) is a deformation-based approach to the
design of structures that enables a continuous, rational and accurate allowance for material …

The stability and design of fixed-ended stainless steel equal-leg angle section members
subjected to axial compression are studied herein. An experimental investigation …

Abstract Design by GMNIA (Geometrically and Materially Nonlinear Analysis with
Imperfections) allows the key behavioural features of structures to be directly captured in the …

Abstract System-level advanced analysis is now a viable tool for widespread use in
structural design. By directly capturing frame and member level instability effects, plasticity …

The high strength and stiffness-to-weight ratios of structural steel often result in relatively
slender members and systems, which are governed to a great extent by stability limit states …

An accurate and consistent approach to the out-of-plane stability design of steel beams and
structures utilising second-order inelastic analysis with strain limits is proposed. The method …

In current structural steel design specifications, the stability of members is typically assessed
through the use of buckling curves which implicitly consider the influence of both initial …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) members are susceptible to geometric imperfections due to the
high length-to-thickness ratio of the flat partitions, in other words, high slenderness …

The behaviour and design of pin-ended stainless steel equal-leg angle section members
under compression and compression plus minor-axis bending are investigated herein. The …
