SLENDER COMPOSITE BEAM-COLUMNS

A method is presented for performing the inelastic stability analysis of composite beam-columns under different load and end conditions. Non-dimensional expressions describing the moment-thrust-curvature relations are derived and then used to foumulate and solve the governing differential equation. The important feature of this method is its ability to obtain direct general solutions to the governing equations. This method has been used to develop typical interaction curves for composite beam-columns under different end and load conditions.
