Introduction
Clamp at
root
Slender structural elements
loaded in a stiff plane tend to
fail by buckling in a more
flexible plane.
In the case of a beam bent
about its major axis, failure
may occur by a form of
buckling which involves both
lateral deflection and twisting.

Lateral buckling
Lateral buckling is the most influential strength limit
state in the design of steel beams.
Lateral buckling is also called flexural-torsional buckling
(or member buckling) and involves the lateral or sideways
instability of long slender beams.
Beams with FULL LATERAL RESTRAINT do not buckle
laterally and their strength is the
CROSS-SECTION STRENGTH defined by:
M * M S
M S = Ze f y
= 0 .9
Lateral buckling
Most commonly beams do not have full lateral restraint and the
nominal strength Ms must be reduced to the MEMBER
BENDING STRENGTH Mb.

not attained (Ms), and the beam will buckle laterally at Mb. This

The determination of the frame buckling load factor c may be carried out using a suitable
computer program (i.e. buckling analysis option in Microstan)
The direct application of this chart is limited to the vertical columns of regular
rectangular frames with regular loading patterns in which each horizontal beam
has zero axial force, and all the columns buckle simultaneously in the same

Rivets
In the past,
past hot
hot-driven
driven rivets were extensively used in structural
connections. They were often used in the same way as ordinary
structural bolts are used in shear and bearing and in tension
connections.
There is usually less slip in a riveted connection because of the tendency
for the rivet holes to be filled by the rivets when being hot-driven.
Shop riveting was cheaper than filed riveting, and for this reason shop
riveting was often combined with field bolting.
However,, the use of riveting
g has declined considerably,
y, and has been
largely replaced by welding or bolting.

In designing the welds, the beam reaction is assumed to act
through the centroid of the bolt group at a distance of 90mm
from the face of the column. In designing the bolts, the beam
reaction is assumed to act at the line of the weld at a distance of
90mm from the centroid of the bolt group.
Problem:
For a design beam reaction of 250 kN, determine the maximum
shear force in a bolt of the bolt group
Example

Solution:
The calculations are based on the instantaneous centre of
rotation approach of Chapter C9 of the Commentary (AS4100).
By inspection, the centroid of the bolt group is at its geometric
centre.

Welds
Structural connections between steel members are often made by arc
arc-welding
welding
techniques, in which molten weld metal is fused with the parent metal of the
members or joint plates being connected.
Welding is often cheaper than bolting because of the great reduction in the
preparation
p
p
required,
q
, while ggreater strength
g can be achieved,, the members or
plates no longer being weakened by bolt holes, and the strength of the weld
metal being superior to that of the material connected.
In addition, welds are more rigid than other types of load-transferring
connectors.
On the other hand, welding often produces distortion and high local residual
stresses,
