Effect of Local Flange Damage on the Stability of Steel Columns

Article Preview

Abstract:

The stability of steel columns that have suffered localized damage is investigated through analytical and computational means. An analytical model based on the Rayleigh-Ritz technique is used in conjunction with detailed finite element models to study the effect of damage extent and location on column load carrying capacity. Analytical and simulation results show a severe reduction in column axial resistance in the presence of localized flange loss.
