Nonlinear Buckling Optimization of Composite Structures

Hot-rolled and cold-formed structural steel tubular members of elliptical cross-section have recently been introduced into the construction sector. However, there is currently limited knowledge of their structural behaviour and stability, and comprehensive design guidance is not yet available. This paper examines the elastic buckling response of elliptical hollow sections in compression, which has been shown to be intermediate between that of circular hollow sections and flat plates. The transition between these two boundaries is dependant upon both the aspect ratio and relative thickness of the section. Based on the results of numerical and analytical studies, formulae to accurately predict the elastic buckling stress of elliptical tubes have been proposed, and shortcomings of existing expressions have been highlighted. Length effects have also been investigated. The findings have been employed to derive slenderness parameters in a system of cross-section classification for elliptical hollow sections, and form the basis for the development of effective section properties for slender elliptical tubes.
