Extract

In previous notes approximate values of the elastic critical loads of continuous and composite struts were obtained. In the case of continuous struts a semi-graphical technique was employed, while for composite struts values were derived from approximate solutions of the transcendental equations governing the behaviour of the struts. In the present note, the approximate elastic critical loads of coupled struts are investigated by a third method, using approximate expressions for the stiffness and carry-over factors entering into the equations expressing the critical conditions of the struts.
