Theory Of Beam-columns, Volume 1: In-plane Beha... -
The mathematical core involves the differential equations of equilibrium for a deflected member. For an elastic beam-column, the governing equation is:
The book establishes the theoretical foundation for beam-columns, which differ from pure beams or columns because they must resist both axial force ( ) and bending moment ( Theory of Beam-Columns, Volume 1: In-Plane Beha...
This text serves as the definitive reference for understanding how combined loads affect the strength and stability of structural members before considering the three-dimensional complexities of lateral-torsional buckling found in Volume 2. The mathematical core involves the differential equations of
