Abstract
A theoretical analysis, using superfolding elements (SE), has been car ried out to determine the mean crushing loads for the quasi-static axi al loading of top-hat and double-hat, spot-welded mild steel sections. The theoretical predictions compare favourably with experimental resu lts reported in a companion article and with the experimental and nume rical predictions of other authors.
