Scope of this Guide
This Guide provides criteria that should be used on the following structural steel components or assemblages:
• Individual structural members (i.e., discrete beams and columns) [see Section 2]
• Plates, stiffened panels and corrugated panels [see Section 3]
• Stiffened cylindrical shells [see Section 4]
• Tubular joints [see Section 5]
Additionally, Appendix 1 contains guidance on the review of buckling analysis using the finite element method (FEM) to establish buckling capacities.
