For predicting the behaviour of beams with thin-walled I sections, named Class 4 in Eurocode 3 (EC3), it is necessary to account for the occurrence of both local and lateral torsional buckling (LTB). These instability phenomena, which are intensified at elevated temperatures, should be accurately considered in design rules. The fire design guidelines for stainless steel members, given in Part 1-2 of EC3, propose the use of the same formulae developed for carbon steel (CS) elements. However, these two materials have different constitutive laws, leading to believe that the use of those formulae should be validated. This work presents a parametric numerical study on the behaviour of stainless steel beams with Class 4 I sections at elevated temperatures. The influences of several parameters such as stainless steel grade, loading type and cross section slenderness are evaluated, and comparisons between the obtained numerical results and EC3 rules are presented.

Overall Stability

Introduction. Structural stability is an essential part of design process for steel structures and checking the overall stability is very important for the determination of the optimum steel beams section. Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) normally associated with beams subject to vertical loading, buckling out of the plane of the applied loads and it is a primary consideration in the design of steel structures, consequently it may reduce the load currying capacity. Methods. There are several national codes to verify the steel beam against LTB. All specifications have different approach for the treatment of LTB and this paper is concentrated on three different methods: America Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), Eurocode (EC) and Russian Code (SP). The attention is focused to the methods of developing LTB curves and their characteristics. Results. AISC specification identifies three regimes of buckling depending on the unbraced length of the member ( Lb ). However, EC and SP utilize a reduction factor (χ LT ) to treat lateral torsional buckling problem. In general, flexural capacities according to AISC are higher than those of EC and SP for non-compact sections.
