Features: This book comprehensively discusses the stability issues encountered in the design of steel structures, including: the characteristics and fundamental concepts of stability problems, stability calculations for various members, plates, frames, rings, arches, and shells, as well as related construction and quality issues. It also elaborates on the role and calculation of supports, as well as stability problems in plastic design and seismic design. The book consists of 2 chapters, where it not only clarifies the background knowledge of stability provisions in steel structure design codes such as the "Code for Design of Steel Structures" GB50017—2003, the "Technical Code for Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Structures" GB50018—2002, and the "Technical Specification for Retractable Shells" JGJ61—2003, but also introduces practical calculation methods for stability problems not covered in the codes.
