strain-gradient case will be higher than for uniform compression. They<br />

may be read from the relevant curve in Figure 7.10, the equations to<br />

which are given in Table 7.3. Classification obtained in this manner<br />

agrees well with BS.8118.<br />

In entering the figure, � should be based on the beam’s plastic<br />

neutral axis (equal area axis) for finding ß f <strong>and</strong> on the elastic axis<br />

Figure 7.10 Internal elements under strain gradient, limiting values of ß/�. Non-welded:<br />

ß f =curve B; ß s =curve C. Edge-welded: ßf=curve A; ß s =curve B.<br />

values of ß<br />

Notes. 1. Outst<strong>and</strong>s: case T=peak compression at tip, case R=peak compression at root.<br />
