Extract

The lateral buckling of thin deep beams when subjected to a transverse loading system inducing bending initially in the plane of maximum flexural stiffness has been analysed on the assumption that the direction of application of the loads remains unchanged during small deformations of the beam (see, for example, treatments in Refs. 1 and 2). A typical case of a beam so loaded is illustrated in Fig. 1.
