Sample calculations were made including a 14-story 8-bay frame designed in the real practice, and 6-story 2-bay frames in which one column was extremely slender or subjected to excessive axial force. It is shown that the proposed method gives very good estimates to the buckling strength although the estimates are conservative or unconservative, with no clear tendency.}, pages = {59--72}, title = {Approximate Method of Elastic Buckling Strength Analysis for Irregular Frames}, volume = {18}, year = {1993} }
