T&R Bulletin 2-02: A Design Manual On the Buckling Strength of Metal Structures (1970)

Under the direction of the Bureau of Ships' Department of the Navy, a critical survey has been made of the information relating to the buckling strength of metal structural members under compressive loading. The purpose of the survey was two-fold:

(a) To provide naval architects with a compilation of the theoretical information which is now available in this field

(b) To summarize the results of this work in handbook form as a prospective design manual for drafting room use.
