Buckling test of high strength steel and very high strength steel colums

For two aims, the strong axis buckling tests of I-section high strength and very high strength steel colums with one beam connected on each end have been done. The first aim is that, because of I-section high strength and very high strength steel columns about the strong axis, the tests are going to validate a FEA model for analyzing this behaviour. And then use this validated FEA model to do systematic study on the overall buckling behaviour of I-section high strength and very high strength steel columns about the strong axis. The second aim is to investigate the influence of the column and restrains on its overall buckling behaviour.
