Features: This book systematically elaborates on the elastic and elastoplastic stability theories of axially compressed, bending, and compression-bending members in steel structures, considering the influence of geometric imperfections of members and residual stress distributions on section stability performance. It integrates the relevant content of steel structure stability design from China's newly revised Steel Structure Design Code GB50017-2002 and Cold-Formed Steel Structures Technical Code GB50018-2002, introducing calculation methods for stability-bearing capacity in steel structure design using elastic and elastoplastic stability theories. The book systematically introduces the theoretical foundations and calculation methods for steel structure stability design from the revised American Steel Structure Design Code AISCLRFD99 and Cold-Formed Steel Structures Design Code AISI96, as well as the characteristics of stability design in Japan's Steel Structure Design Guidelines AIJ98. Each chapter of the book includes numerous examples and exercises, with additional types of calculation examples added in the second edition, all of which will help readers deepen their understanding of the fundamental theories. This book can serve as a teaching material for postgraduate students in industrial and civil engineering, civil and structural engineering, and engineering mechanics, and can also be referenced by technical personnel involved in teaching, research, design, and construction.
