STABILITY OF STRUTS AND FRAMES: BACKGROUND AND DESIGN METHODS ACCORDING TO EUROCODE 3

Structural stability is one of the key aspects in the structural engineering practice. Following current architectural trends, steel and composite structures tend to be slender and flexible, which may lead to a necessity to consider the deformed structural shape to the analysis and design. This pape...

Description
Summary:Structural stability is one of the key aspects in the structural engineering practice. Following current architectural trends, steel and composite structures tend to be slender and flexible, which may lead to a necessity to consider the deformed structural shape to the analysis and design. This paper provides a background overview about structural stability and second order effects according to the Eurocode 3. The proposed methods for addressing these effects according to The Eurocode 3 will be presented. Computational methods to assess structural stability will be discussed. Practical design examples for each Eurocode method are presented.
