ABSTRACT: The accurate consideration of the flexural buckling resistance of high strength steel (HSS) structures is highly important in the design. Higher yield strength indicates the applicability of smaller cross-sections, which might be more sensitive for stability problems. The purpose of the current study is (1) to investigate the flexural buckling behaviour of HSS welded box section columns and (2) to determine a reliable column buckling curve. The characteristic and design values of the buckling resistances for HSS welded box section column are determined by using Monte Carlo simulation technique for a wide range of relative slenderness and steel grades. Based on the simulation results buckling curves are proposed for all the analysed steel grades. Required value for the partial safety factor is also determined considering the design resistance level of the Eurocode. The proposed buckling curves are applicable for HSS welded box section columns made from steel grades between S420–S960.
