Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the current design procedures for the buckling design of members, plates and curved panels. It highlights recent developments in these fields, namely methodologies for the evaluation of the buckling resistance of generic beam-columns with variable cross section, loading and boundary conditions, the evaluation of the reliability of the Winter curve in slender webs and the development of design guidance for curved panels. Finally, the incorporation of some of these developments in the current revision of Eurocode 3 is discussed.
