Abstract
The paper deals with buckling of short thin-walled lipped-channel columns, simply supported on both ends and subjected to uniformly distributed compressive load. The main objective of the study was to investigate the structure׳s work in far post-buckling state and at collapse corresponding to the moment of the column׳s stiffness loss. The following measuring devices and methods were applied: electrical strain gauges for strain measurements, a laser sensor to measure the displacements, and the Acoustic Emission method. Along with running the experimental tests, the non-linear stability of compressed composite columns was analyzed with the Finite Element Method. The numerical and experimental results showed good agreement.
