SEAoNY Programs Committee, with AISC, Presents:
2024 TR Higgins Lecture: Think Global, Buckle Local- Exploring Buckling in Structural Steel
DATE: Wednesday, December 4, 2024
TIME: 12:00 - 1:00 PM
Zoom Webinar
Local buckling is an important phenomenon in steel structures, and this talk aims to place the phenomenon in the much larger global context of what structural engineers have achieved for society and what work we have left to do. Utilizing an historical lens the talk explores the origins of local buckling in civil structures and how engineers harnessed the best theory of the time to understand and control local buckling. The simple ideas that underpin local buckling limits in current structural design are revealed, and along with it the possibilities for harnessing local buckling to create new thin efficient solutions for the future. Given the extreme state of current global infrastructure challenges, specific examples of steel innovations rising to meet these current conditions, and the importance of local buckling in these solutions is highlighted.
