“…However, there are several problems related to its use that demands in-depth studies (Akbulut, Gundogdu and Sengül, 2010). Due to its importance, the buckling of columns of fiber-reinforced composite materials has been extensively studied (Barbero and Tomblin, 1994;Barbero, 2000;Puente, Insausti and Azkune, 2006;Kollár, 2002aKollár, , 2002bKollár, , 2003Kollár, , 2014Qiao and Shan, 2005;Cardoso, 2014, Cardoso, Harries and Batista, 2014, 2015.…”

This work presents a study of the behavior, performance and failure of thinwalled composite channel section columns. The study is carried-out using nonlinear finite element models of laminated columns, including geometric imperfections and material failure, as well as approximate analytical solutions based on the Classical Lamination Theory. The accuracy of the numerical model is assessed using experimental results available in the literature and very good results were obtained. The results show the influence of the column layup and wall thickness on the structural behavior of laminated columns, including the buckling mode and ultimate failure load. Finally, the numerical model is used to assess the accuracy of approximate closed-form expressions for evaluation of the local buckling loads of composite channel section columns.

“…Previous studies of axial behavior of PFRP have identified the following general conclusions as summarized by Cardoso et al. : a) short columns, those having plate relative slenderness ratios, λ p = ( F c / F crl ) 0.5 ≤ ≈0.7, where F c is the material compressive strength, and F crl is the local buckling critical stress, are dominated by local buckling of plate elements (e.g., []); b) long columns, those having λ p ≥ ≈1.3, are dominated by global buckling (e.g., []); and c) so‐called intermediate columns, having slenderness falling between short and long columns, exhibit a complex interaction between local and global buckling (e.g., []). The focus of the present study is long columns with doubly symmetric cross sections which are widely used in civil engineering structures and their behavior is dominated by global buckling.…”

This paper presents an improved closed-form solution to determine the global buckling capacity of axially loaded pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (PFRP) columns with doubly symmetry cross sections based on the original solution recommended by Eurocode 3 (EC3). In this improved solution, a new closed-form equation to determine the reduction factor for global buckling of doubly symmetric PFRP members under axial compression is developed, based on the Ayrton-Perry formula and observed initial out-of-straightness of PFRP members measured by other researchers. Recognizing that data on initial imperfections may be unavailable, a second new empirical closed-form equation is derived to predict the global buckling loads of doubly symmetric PFRP columns based upon the experimental data. Validation of the two explicit solutions taking into account the influence of geometric imperfections of doubly symmetric PFRP shapes is performed by both comparison to experimental data and comparison with validated numerical simulations. In addition, compared with the five closed-form solutions available in the literature, the two proposed solutions exhibit higher accuracy in predicting the global buckling capacity of concentrically loaded PFRP columns with doubly symmetry cross sections. Parametric studies are further conducted, and the influences of the main parameters on the performance of corresponding solutions are discussed. The two proposed solutions can facilitate the global buckling analysis and design of doubly symmetric PFRP columns under concentric compressive loading.
