Data-driven hollow section column design

What is inside

This repository stores 695 experimental data and 3,974 finite element data for steel square hollow sections (SHS) and rectangular hollow sections (RHS) members under compression. The data includes buckling tests on both hot-rolled and cold-formed columns.
