Several aluminum alloy (Alcan 65S-T) struts of thin-walled open section were tested in compression with concentrically applied loads and using hinged-end supports. The tests were carried out on lipped angles of the same cross-section but of varying length. A range of slenderness ratios from 33.6 to 178.9 was covered and lateral deflections, stresses, and rotations of the struts were measured at intervals in all cases. A comparison was drawn between the experimental results and the failure loads predicted by elastic stability theory. The results were found to be in good general agreement with the computed values for the type of section tested.
