Abstract
During the last two decade several analytical and
experimental studies have been conducted on the
behaviour of bracing systems subjected to out-of-plane
buckling, a new system of pretwisted bars is suggested
and considered in this paper. The stability of a twisted
brace under a conservative load is investigated. It is
found that the critical load of the twisted brace is more
than that of untwisted brace depending on system
parameters (i.e. twist/unit length, boundary conditions).
