To investigate the impact of residual stresses on the lateral torsional buckling performance of welded steel beams and suggest adjustments for simplified design methods.
Conducted a comprehensive numerical study on the load-bearing behavior of welded steel beams.
Utilized residual stress approaches according to current standards and a state-of-the-art method.
Analyzed steel beams made from various grades, including S235 to S690.
Residual stresses have a minor influence on the structural performance of higher steel grade beams.
Proposed adjustments to imperfection factors based on the findings of the numerical study.
