Stabilized Buckling Member
Model to Download
Description
If a member is laterally supported due to a compressive axial force to prevent buckling, it must be ensured that the lateral support is actually able to prevent buckling. Therefore, the aim of this article is to determine the ideal spring stiffness of a lateral support using the winter model.

Determination of Ideal Spring Stiffness for Lateral Supports of Buckling Members
If a member is laterally supported to prevent buckling due to a compressive axial force, it must be ensured that the lateral support is actually able to prevent buckling.

SHAPE-THIN | Cold-Formed Sections
SHAPE-THIN determines the effective cross-sections according to EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1993-1-5 for cold-formed sections. You can optionally check the geometric conditions for the applicability of the standard specified in EN 1993‑1‑3, Section 5.2.
The effects of local plate buckling are considered according to the method of reduced widths and the possible buckling of stiffeners (instability) is considered for stiffened sections according to EN 1993-1-3, Section 5.5.
As an option, you can perform an iterative calculation to optimize the effective cross-section.
You can display the effective cross-sections graphically.
