Presents a comprehensive treatment of flexural-torsional buckling and demonstrates how to design against this mode of failure. This work explains the fundamentals of this type of buckling behavior and then summarizes results that may be of use to designers and researchers in either equation or graphical form.

Résumé
This book is intended to provide both an up-to-date treatment of modern methods of analysing flexural-torsional buckling of steel structures, and also to provide detailed summaries of knowledge on flexural-torsional buckling that it can be used as a source book by both designers and researchers.
