Abstract

Stainless steel, renowned for its excellent aesthetic properties and exceptional corrosion resistance, has found widespread application in structural components such as roofing systems, roof coverings, and curtain walls within architectural engineering. Stainless steel members with C-section have gained prominence due to their high material efficiency and favorable mechanical characteristics. The geometric configuration of these sections enhances the moment of inertia and torsional rigidity of the structural member, while simultaneously minimizing material usage, thereby fulfilling the dual objectives of structural safety and economic viability. However, the complex buckling behaviors and failure mechanisms associated with these sections present significant challenges in their design and analysis. Consequently, the buckling performance of stainless steel members with lipped C-section remains a focal point of ongoing research, with considerable emphasis on understanding and mitigating the associated risks.Up to the present, scholars have categorized the buckling performance of stainless steel members with lipped C-section based on failure modes into two primary types: single-mode buckling (global buckling, local buckling, and distortional buckling) and multi-mode coupled buckling (global-local buckling, global-distortional buckling, local-distortional buckling, and global-local-distortional buckling). The identification of these buckling modes is predominantly carried out by using methods such as the generalized beam theory, the constrained finite strip method, and the finite element method, each of which relied on distinct computational tools. Consequently, each method has its own advantages and applicability depending on the specific context of the analysis. In recent years, innovative experimental techniques have been employed to investigate the buckling performance of stainless steel members with lipped C-section. Furthermore, extensive numerical simulations have been conducted to identify key factors influencing the buckling modes and ultimate bearing capacity of these components, leading to an optimization analysis of the section geometry. With the increasing adoption of the direct strength method, rapid calculation approaches for determining the bearing capacity of stainless steel members with lipped C-section under different buckling modes have been developed, providing a more efficient means of structural evaluation and design.This paper presented an in-depth exploration of the manufacturing processes and engineering applications of stainless steel members with lipped C-section. A comprehensive review was provided on the research contributions of both domestic and international scholars concerning the buckling performance of these components. The review encompassed various aspects, including methodologies for identifying buckling modes, descriptions of experimental setups, and design approaches.
