title = "Compressive resistance of circular hollow sections with squashed ends",
abstract = "Circular hollowsteel sections are normal specified in truss and dome structures to take advantage of their efficiency in compression and the ease in which they can be curved to match the various radii of the different domes. However, it is not easy to connect these members together or to other members. In order to connect them together or to other members the ends are usually squashed or flattened. Although the process of flattening does not reduce area of the section, it does reduce the flexural stiffness the section. The aim of this paper is to study the behaviour of circular hollow members with flattened edges, in compression.",
