It is very often considered that the problems to be solved while designing a steel structure are only related to the calculation and construction of the members and their connections.They concern mainly the static or fatigue strength and the stability of the structural members as well as the load bearing capacity of the joints. This point of view is certainly not correct as one cannot ignore the important areas dealing with fabrication, erection and when necessary, protection against fire.
It is very important to bear in mind that the application of hollow sections necessitates special knowledge in all of the above mentionned areas.
This book deals with the aspect of buckling of circular and rectangular hollow sections, their calculations and the solutions to the stability problems.
