Experimental and numerical (FSM) investigations of thin-walled beams with double-box flanges

Piotr Paczos
In the paper, experimental and numerical investigations of thin-walled beams with double-box flanges were presented. They were a continuation of researches conducted at the Unit of Strength of Materials and Structures at Poznan University of Technology. Numerical results obtained with the Finite Strip Method (FSM) were compared with experimental ones and used for validation of analytical solutions.
