Thin-Walled Structural Members Under Web Crippling Loadings: Finite Element Analysis, Design, and Integrated Testing addresses a critical and specialized area in structural engineering focused on the behavior, analysis, and design of thin-walled steel members subjected to web crippling loadings. This reference integrates experimental testing, advanced numerical modeling, and international design codes to improve understanding and practical design of cold-formed steel structures worldwide. The book offers in-depth coverage of experimental testing procedures and finite element analysis, including practical guidance on software tools, model verification, and validation best practices. It also includes design examples that demonstrate real-world applications across multiple international codes.
The book also presents integrated comparisons of experimental, numerical, and design results, discusses failure modes, and incorporates reliability analyses and parametric studies. It will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, structural and design engineers, graduate and PhD students, as well as manufacturers and industry professionals.
