The Column Strength of Eccentrically Compressed Square Hollow Section Members |
| Abstract |
Residual stresses are introduced into tubes during the course of cold-formed and welding which may influence the buckling strength of cold-formed square hollow section columns. Reference 1 showed the column strength of square hollow section members without eccentricity. In this paper, the column strength of eccentrically compressed members in investigated. Using the numerical analysis based on the beam-column theory, test results are compared with the numerical analysis based on the beam-column theory, test results are compared with the numerical analysis results. And the strength of beam-column is suggested from the numerical analysis. |
