Ricardo Pimentel of the SCI discusses the consideration of U‐Frame action to restrain members susceptible to flexural and lateral torsional buckling according to Eurocodes. Buckling phenomena frequently govern the design of steel members under compression or for elements partially compressed. To achieve a good compromise between steel tonnage and...

This study analyzed the flexural buckling behavior of light-gauge built-up compression members joined by self-drilling screws by using the energy method. A nonconventional mechanical model that simulates the flexural buckling behavior of a built-up member was proposed, and the contradictions of Bleich's model were described. A simple design formula...
