Abstract
Flexural-torsional buckling considerations usually control the
design of unbraced steel beam and beam-columns. Although
there are many sources of information on elastic buckling, these
are not comprehensive, and often difficult to access. This paper
describes and exemplifies a single comprehensive source of
information, the computer program PRFELB for the elastic
flexural-torsional buckling analysis of a wide range of beams,
beam-columns, and plane frames.
PRFELB is a user-friendly computer program, with menus and data and help screens that advise and assist in data input. Graphics can be used to check the geometry and to display the buckled shapes. The use of PRFELB will assist designers to implement the method of design by building analysis which is permitted in modern structural steel design standards, either explicitly or implicitly. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
