Lateral-torsional buckling behavior of members in steel structures
with hanging-profile connections
Dasu Liu & Jörg Lange
Technical University Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany
ABSTRACT: The “hanging profile” is a commonly used type of joint in steel structures for horizontal bracing
systems in large building projects, where huge compression forces are transferred. This joint is characterized by
the connection of a bracing beam to gusset plates only at the top flanges. The structural configuration is ...
