Tubular Steel Structures
Tubular Steel Structures
(OP)
I have been tasked with designing a mono-pole structure. The base tube is approximately 1000 mm DIA. and 13 mm plate. I am wondering if anyone has any good references for the design. I have modeled the structure and feel confident with the loading. I’m looking for references on the capacity of thin-walled plates.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
RE: Tubular Steel Structures
I have one final question,the contractor wishes to use ASTM A252 grade 3 pipe for the poles (it's locally available, Fy=310 mPa, Fu=455 mPa). This grade of material is not specifically mentioned in ASCE 10-15 as an approved material, would this change the references you provided?
