Hancock Centre for Advanced Structural Engineering, School of Civil and Mining Engineering, University of Sydney, Australia ABSTRACT For thin-walled flexural members composed of high-strength steel and/or slender elements in the section, a mode of buckling at half-wavelengths intermediate between local buckling and flexural-torsional or flexural buckling can occur. The mode is most common f or edge-stiffened sections such as C- and Z-purlins, and involves rotation of the flange and lip about the .[lange-web junction. The mode is commonly called distortional buck- ling. This paper presents a design method f or distortional buekling of JTex- ural members recently drafted .for use in the Australian~New Zealand Standard f or Cold-formed Steel Structures. Methods f or computing the elastic buckling stress, and design curves f or determining the distortional buckling strength are presented. Comparisons of different methods f or computing the elastic distortional buckling stress are made with accurate solutions based on the finite strip method of structural analysis.

The model as derived was not limited to simple fl ange-l i p combi nat i ons as shown in Fig. 2, but may involve compl ex lips with sloping stiffeners and/ or ret urn lips. In the Lau and Hancock model , it was assumed t hat the value of the t ransl at i onal spring stiffness kx was zero so t hat t he flange was free to translate in the x- di rect i on in the buckl i ng mode, The equat i on for the rot at i onal spring stifness k 4, is given in Lau & Hancock s as: ,,, { ,ll,od 1 ke , =5. e 6( bw+0. 062) 1 " Et 2 kb, ~_~2 / (1) where E is the modul us of elasticity and t is the thickness. In eqn (1), 2 is the half-wavelength of the di st ort i onal buckle given by: 0. 25 4 The symbol !Yr is defi ned in Appendi x A and the term f'od is the compres- sive stress in t he web at di st ort i onal buckling, comput ed assuming ko is zero. The comput at i on process is iterative due to the i ncorporat i on of,/%d in eqn (1). An alternative formul at i on for t he elastic buckl i ng stress of the thin- walled compressi on member in Fig. 2 has been provi ded by Sharp 9 as given by eqn (3): O' e r z where Af, !,r, L.r, Jr, -~, and P are defi ned in Appendi x A and v is Poisson' s ratio. Sharp assumed t hat t he t ransl at i onal spring stiffness k.,. was infinite 6 G.J. Hancock so t hat t he f l ange- web j unc t i on became a fixed poi nt of r ot at i on.
