Abstract

The regular deformation patters of axially compressed box section beams is analysed. Assuming a simple collapse mechanism, the theory is then extended to cover the influence of strain rate sensitive material. The dynamic strength of a beam column is significantly higher than the static strength. Correlation of the present theoretical results with the available experimental data is discussed.
