An accurate method for the calculation of ultimate load in lattice boom

To calculate the ultimate load of the lattice boom accurately, the effective length factor and imperfection factor are introduced to the current stability factor formula. First, we propose a stability factor formula by conducting a series of tests of high-strength steel tubes under axial compression...
