Abstract
The steel joist of composite bridge girders is susceptible to a
particular type of instability which may be referred to as
"Restricted-Distortional Buckling". Knowledge of the critical
load at which this type of instability occurs is necessary for
design. There are different methods available in the literature,
with different levels of approximation, but not all produce
similar results. This paper will review these methods, and
explain their strengths and /or weaknesses. It will also
introduce a new technique in detail and present some of the
results in a non-dimensional format.
