Data for: Improving the GBT-Based Buckling Analysis of Restrained Cold-formed Steel Members by Considering Constrained Deformation Modes

Description

These supplementary data consist of two parts, namely Section C.1 and C.2. The first section presents the listing of a Python program written by the authors to implement the developed GBT-based semi-analytical formulae/procedures intended to calculate estimates of (i) lateral-distortional (LD) buckling moments of restrained purlins and (ii) distortional (D) buckling loads of sheathed studs. As for Section C.2, it includes illustrative examples concerning the use of the program: it presents the sequence of the most relevant parameters and results involved in calculating the P4 purlin lateral-distortional and S1 stud distortional buckling moment/load estimates – see Section 4.1 of the main paper.
