Cold-formed steel beamscheng yu
• Testing– first tests with definitive
separation of modes– upper and lower bound
flexural capacities– experimental evidence for
new design methods• FE Modeling
– parametric studies– moment gradient effect– influence of restraint
• Significant design impact
Distortional
Local

generalized beam theorypuneet bajpai
Unifies the conventional theories
Better understanding of structural principles
Economical method of analysis
Capability to consider individual buckling modes and select combinations of them
Applicable to linear analysis (First-order GBT), linear stability analysis (General second-order GBT), or bifurcation problems
