Behaviour and design of extruded high-strength aluminium alloy SHS beam-columns by Beibei Li, Pengcheng He, Jingfeng Wang, Yuanqing Wang

“…Findings indicated that both the European and Chinese standards tended to provide relatively conservative predictions for buckling resistances, while the American standard sometimes produced predictions leading to higher risk. Finally, a modification strategy for the design of AA7A04-T6 SHS beam-columns, utilizing modified interaction buckling factors that account for non-dimensional member slenderness and compression resistances, was suggested to enhance the precision and reliability of resistance forecasts.…”
