[en] Abstract: In the present research, a geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis using the FE method has been conducted to evaluate the resistance of axially compressed hot-rolled H profile cross-sections. The FE model was firstly duly verified against experimental data and then used to carry a parametric analysis. The goal of the analysis is to propose a new Direct Strength Method (DSM) strength curve intended for calculating the resistance of non-compact and slender hot-rolled H profile cross-sections.
