Funded Activity Summary

Buckling capacity of high-strength steel flexural members. This project aims to investigate the capacity of high-strength steel (HSS) flexural members by undertaking physical tests and numerical simulations, and proposes to craft innovative overarching design guidance for them within a paradigm of Design by Advanced Analysis. HSS structures are significant as they are lighter than their mild steel counterparts and so use less material, with a much lower carbon footprint. Modern metallurgical process can produce HSS of Grade 1000 Megapascals or higher, but there is no specific structural code governing their design. Surprisingly little research has been reported on HSS flexural members which fail by lateral buckling, and this is the focus of the project, filling the gap needed to produce an advanced design standard.
