A Simplified Formula for Calculating the Elastic Distortional Bucking Stress of Steel Channel Bending Members with Complex Edge Stiffeners and Intermediate Stiffeners in Elements

摘要

In order to research the simplified formulas of bending steel channels with complex edge stiffeners for their elastic distortional buckling stress, each 70 members for lipped channels with complex edge stiffeners, Σ style channels with complex edge stiffeners and channels with complex edge stiffeners and intermediate V type stiffeners in the web were numerical analyzed by the finite strip software CUFSM. Based on the existed expression for local bucking and introducing distortional buckling coefficient, each of the suggested simplified formulas for distortional buckling stress of the above members were summarized. Besides, formulas for lipped channels with complex edge stiffeners and channels with complex edge stiffeners and intermediate V type stiffeners in the web were united as one. All the formulas were confirmed for their availability.
