Abstract
The elasto-plastic behaviour of columns of H-shaped cross section subjected to biaxial loading is greatly affected by the slenderness ratio of the column, axial load, load condition, shape of the cross section, etc. In this paper, numerical results calculated utilizing the method of analysis described in the previous paper under various conditions are presented, and the influence of several factors on the elasto-plastic behaviour of columns under biaxial bending is illustrated by the moment-displacement curves. In this numerical analysis, wide flange cross sections are chosen, and under the constant axial load end moments acting in two perpendicular directions increase proportionally. For convenience of computation, the variables and parameters in the differential equations of equilibrium are made nondimensional.
