For thin-walled sections, lateral and lateral-torsional buckling are often affected by distortion of the section and this can severely reduce the critical stress. A calculation method for the critical stress which takes account of distortional effects, based on Generalised Beam Theory (GBT), is presented in this paper. The limiting slenderness at w...

... Subsequently, Schardt and his co-workers carried out an intense research activity that led to the development of several GBT formulations and applications (e.g., [7][8][9] -see also the bibliography available at http://vtb.info/). However, it is fair to say that Schardt's work on GBT had very little impact on the international technical/scientific community until the beginning of the 1990's, since the overwhelming majority of the publications were in German and had a quite limited dissemination (almost exclusively through technical reports of the Technical University of Darmstadt). ...
