| Abstract | This research presents further experimental investigation
of tapered steel c0lumns. Tests were performed on six columns of welded box-sections. The primary variables are slenderness ratio, taper sl0pe, and the ratio of the eccentricities at the column ends. The larger section of the column is 4" x 4" and the smaller section varies with the taper slope. The columns were fabricated
from steel plates, the flanges being cut from 1/2" and the web from 3/16" plates respectively. The effective length of the longest column was 7\' - 6 1/2" and the shortest was 6\' - 3/16". All columns were tested under simple supports and were loaded up to failure. The experimental results were compared with the analytically
predicted loads based on the theoretical analysis presented by Lin, Rossow and Lee. Good correlation exists between the experimental and the theoretical analysis. |
