Nota relativa a la determinación de «longitudes de pandeo» en los pórticos metálicos a dos aguas

In the construction of industrial sheds, in contrast to the use of a rib isostatically braced on supports, there has been a constantly more frequent use of the doubles toping metal portal frame of small and medium spans. For the study of the lack of stability on the plane of the portal frame, recourse is had to the «bending lengths» method which makes possible a piece by piece check —a debatable procedure, but generally accepted on account of its operational nature. Although there are techniques of numerical analysis which made it possible to approach the problem of instability with precision, this note does not intend to introduce innovations in the treatment of the problem, but rather, accepting the approximate validity of the present method of calculation, proposes to provide rules of immediate application compatible with what is set out in Spanish standards.

Cálculo no lineal de estructuras reticuladas y laminares

By many of electronic calculus it is possible to approach the non linear analysis of bar constructions efficiently and without the limitations of the traditional plastic Calculus. In order to prove this statement, the author presents certains structural analysis that have been carried out by means of techniques and calculation programs of his own. Further, the non linear analysis of revolving sheets is presented to which algorithms of great formal similarity to those in the case of bar constructions are applicable. Both for these latter ones as weil as for laminated structures the programs elaborated by the author allow a great variety of anelastic analyses (and as a special case, of elastic analysis).
