Abstract This paper investigates Q420 dual-angle cross combined section columns under axial and eccentric compression by conducting experiments. The specimen parameters, experimental setup, and test results are presented. It showed that local buckling occurred apparently for single internode specimens (λ<35) under axial compression, while overall bending buckling appeared for others, and no torsional buckling occurred. The theoretical formulas on stability factor were derived by the energy approach. Non-linear finite element models considering residual stress were established using ANSYS which were verified by the corresponding experimental results. The parametric study was to evaluate the effects of slenderness ratio More >
