O.I.C.-based design for local/global/built-up interaction in laced built-up steel columns

Key Points

• Enhanced structural integrity found in built-up steel columns using o.i.c.-based design, indicating improved performance across varying loads.
• Key evidence from load distribution assessments shows a 20% increase in strength during local interactions when using o.i.c.-based designs.
• Analysis focused on local and global interaction effects in structural design, emphasizing the importance of load distribution in engineering.
• This approach supports the need for modern design frameworks that enhance safety and performance in steel structures.
