Effect of the Initial Out-of-Straightness on the Lateral Torsional Buckling Strength of Steel Beams

The effect of initial out-of-straightness of steel beams with wide flange cross-sections on their elastic lateral torsional buckling strength is investigated analytically and numerically. A variational principle is first developed and then used to obtain the governing equilibrium conditions and asso...
