Abstract
Tubular construction is synonymous with modern architecture. The familiar range of tubular sections square, rectangular and circular hollow sections - has been recently extended to include elliptical hollow sections (EHSs). Due to differing flexural rigidities about the two principal axes, these new sections combine the elegance of circular hollow sections with the improved structural efficiency in bending of rectangular hollow sections. Following the introduction of structural steel EHSs, a number of investigations into their structural response have been carried out. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of recent research on EHSs together with a sample of practical applications. The paper addresses fundamental research on elastic local buckling and post-buckling, cross-section classification, response in shear, member instabilities, connections and the behaviour of concrete-filled EHSs. Details of full-scale testing and numerical modelling studies are described, and the generation of statistically validated structural design rules, suitable for incorporation into international design codes, is outlined.
