ABSTRACT

Figure 1. (a) Column critical buckling curve and (b) “combined” L-D buckling mode shape – LL-D = 27 cm column. (Fig. 1(a)), the performance of parametric studies, intended to gather a extensive failure load data bank involving mostly fixed-ended columns under strong L-D interaction and covering a wide slenderness range, is addressed (Dinis et al 2013a).
