Flexural buckling of press-braked stainless steel Z-section columns: testing, numerical modelling and design

The flexural buckling behaviour and resistances of press-braked stainless steel Z-section columns are investigated in this paper, based on experiments and numerical modelling. An experimental investigation was conducted on two press-braked stainless steel Z-sections and included material testing, in...
