摘要
In practical stability design and analysis of steel members and structures, one must allow for member imperfection. Various national design codes impose different values of initial imperfection for member-strength determination, such as 0.001 of the member length in the 1986 Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. This paper presents a new method of including the effects of initial imperfection in the element stiffness without needing to adopt a curved-element formulation, which is deficient for members under high axial load, or to divide a member into two or more straight elements in order to simulate member imperfection. A very considerable savings and convenience in data-manipulation effort and computer time can be achieved when using the proposed element.
