Distortional buckling of X‐joints made of square hollow cross‐section beams: theoretical energy‐based model
Björk, Timo; Ahola, Antti; Tuominen, Niko (Ernst & Sohn Verlag für Architektur und technische Wissenschaften GmbH & Co. KG, Berlin, 21.01.2019)Current design codes do not consider distortional buckling failure modes, which can occur in the chord member of a tubular X‐joint loaded axially by brace members. In this study the critical load for distortional buckling ... -
