Lateral-torsional buckling is a critical instability mode in slender, thin-walled beam-elements subject to bending. In contrast to pure flexural buckling, this phenomenon couples out-of-plane ...

Elastic instability is the set of structural situations of geometric non-linearity that manifests itself in that the displacements in a resistant member are not proportional to the acting forces 1.

A new method of connecting precast beams and columns will make it possible to quickly repair concrete buildings damaged by extreme events such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The patented technology, ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
