Metal Structures: Stability and Buckling

This lecture covers the stability and buckling of metal structures, focusing on resistance and stability formulas, buckling curves, and examples of beam-column behavior. It also discusses the verification of resistance, deformations, and the interaction between normal effort and bending. The instructor explains different buckling modes, such as bending-torsion, and the design considerations for composite beams. Emphasis is placed on the calculation of deformations, eccentricities, and the verification process based on design values. The lecture concludes with a practical case study of a console beam loaded at its end.
