ABSTRACT
1. Introduction
This paper investigates the performance of Hot
The application of the hollow sections has been
widely used in building structures worldwide. In
open sections the outstanding flanges tend to buckle
before the webs which are supported along all edges.
On the other hand, in closed sections such as the
hollow rectangular section, both flanges and webs
behave as internal elements, as each element is
connected to the adjacent element at the longitudinal
edges. This offers more strength and stability to the
Hollow sections. The hollow sections are known for
their increased compressive strength because of
excellent distribution of area around the axis. They
possess full strength under bending moment due to
enhanced torsional rigidity, since Hollow section
only allow uniform torsion and which is distributed
evenly through the entire area. The versatility of
these sections allows for a wide range of applications
as industrial sheds and exhibition stalls to space
frames and sign supporting structures. Large span
portal frames, amusement parks and playground
equipment.
1. Introduction
use of hollow sections as compression members. The
initial out-of- straightness, Eccentricity of applied
load, effect of residual stresses and Effect of strain
hardening and the absence of well-defined yield point
affects the compressive strength of the practical
i.e., Intermediate columns. Since design strength of
these columns are found to vary in higher degree than
short columns and Long columns.

Where Fy is the yield strength and A is the measured
cross sectional area.
Column curve A is adopted for the hot
formed SHS specimen according to the IS 800. There
are 4 column curves in Indian code based on the
cross section ( = 0.21). The SHS specimen falls
under the curve A. In a similar manner Euro code has
5 different column curves. A single column curve is
adopted in American code. The code follows
bifurcated curve based on the tangent modulus
theory.
