| Abstract | This paper treats the lateral instability of cantilever steel I-beams in both the elastic and the inelastic range. Loads were considered as applied at the free end. The cases of loads applied at the top flange and at the centroid of the end cross section of the beam were studied. The breadth of flange, thickness of flange and thickness of web were kept constant. The length and the depth of beam were varied. Elastic solutions for the buckling of cantilever beams subjected to uniform moment and linear moment gradient are available. Direct analysis of the inelastic problem is difficult because the resistance of the beam to bending and twisting varies both through the depth of the beam and along its length. In this paper, critical buckling moments are obtained experimentally. They are compared with theoretical results and some empirical design approximations |
