An Experimental Study on Lateral Buckling Strength of H-Shaped |
| Abstract |
The H-shaped steel beams in practical rigid frames have discrete intermediate restraints provided by sub-beams and braces in their length.In this paper, the effects of discrete intermediate restraints on lateral buckling strength were investigated by theoretical analysis and exper imentsBy the result of experiment, the lateral buckling strength of beams with intermediate restraints depends upon the lateral buckling length and the condition of intermediate restraints.The proposed effective-length factor (K) of H-shaped steel beam with discrete intermediate restraints were in good agreement with experimental data. |
