ABSTRACT

Fam et al. (2003, 2005).

The strength under the combined actions of bending and compression are

related to the separate bending and compression strengths via an interaction

formula. The capacities of CFST members under pure bending (see Chapter 3) and

pure compression (see Chapter 4) will be utilised. Second-order effects which

possibly magnify the bending moment should be considered in the structural

analysis.
