New approach to improving distortional strength of intermediate length thin-walled open section columns

This paper describes a method which can be adopted to improve the torsional and also distortional strength of thin-walled cold-formed steel columns used in pallet racking systems. Elastic buckling analysis on two different types of column sections of  intermediate length was done first in our study...
