Different aspects of Eurocode 3 General Method (GM) approaches are discussed in this paper. The purpose of present study is to improve the application of GM approach for both beam-columns without intermediate lateral-torsional restraints and with these restraints. The results from the proposed GM are compared with those from Eurocode 3-1-1 interaction equations according to Method 1 and Method 2. A better consistency between the developed GM approach and the Eurocode's interaction equation approach than Eurocode 3 GM approach is observed.

The provisions for the design of steel beam-columns in CSA Standard CAN/S16.1-94 are reviewed and changes are proposed to provide more consistent reliability in the next edition, CAN/CSA-S16-2001. The in-plane strength interaction equations have been checked using plastic-zone finite element analysis based on realistic residual stress patterns and initial imperfections. The same overall format is maintained. P-δ effects have been found to be negligible for members in sway frame. The interaction equation for checking the in-plane strength of sway beam-columns has been modified by taking the factor U1 as 1.0 for members in unbraced frames. For weak-axis bending, a new factor β accounts for the effect of the distributed plasticity on stability. The concept of the notional load for sway buckling, also used in Australia and in Eurocode 3, is now applied for all load combinations and not just as a minimum. The upper limit on U2 of 1.4 is removed. Examples are given illustrating these changes. A re-analysis of the local buckling experiments of other researchers on Class 2 sections, using a widely accepted buckling criterion, shows that no distinction need be made between Class 1 and 2 section beam-columns, i.e., Class 2 sections are treated as Class 1 sections. The changes in total do not increase the complexity of the standard, but reflect better the behaviour of beam-columns. The standard is aligned more closely with the best international practice.Key words: analysis, beam-column, buckling, compact, design, interaction equation, resistance, stability, steel, sway.

AbstractAssessment of the flexural buckling resistance of bisymmetrical I-section beam-columns using FEM is widely discussed in the paper with regard to their imperfect model. The concept of equivalent geometric imperfections is applied in compliance with the so-called Eurocode’s general method. Various imperfection profiles are considered. The global effect of imperfections on the real compression members behaviour is illustrated by the comparison of imperfect beam-columns resistance and the resistance of their perfect counterparts. Numerous FEM simulations with regard to the stability behaviour of laterally and torsionally restrained steel structural elements of hot-rolled wide flange HEB section subjected to both compression and bending about the major or minor principal axes were performed. Geometrically and materially nonlinear analyses, GMNA for perfect structural elements and GMNIA for imperfect ones, preceded by LBA for the initial curvature evaluation of imperfect member configuration prior to loading were carried out. Numerical modelling and simulations were conducted with use of ABAQUS/Standard program. FEM results are compared with those obtained using the Eurocode’s interaction criteria of Method 1 and 2. Concluding remarks with regard to a necessity of equivalent imperfection profiles inclusion in modelling of the in-plane resistance of compression members are presented.

Abstract Steel I-section members subjected to compression a monoaxial bending about the major axis are dealt with in this paper. The current Eurocode’s design procedure of such members is based on a set of two interpolation equations. In this paper a simple and yet consistent Ayrton-Perry methodology is presented that for beam-columns yields the Ayrton-Perry design strategy similar to that utilized in the steel Eurocodes for design of beams and columns but not used so far for the beam-column design. The results from developed design criterion are compared with those of Method 1 of Eurocode 3 and the Ayrton-Perry formulation of a different format that has been recently published.
