The finite element analysis model of a welded H section steel member subjected to vertical axial compressive force and horizontal load is created to simulate the plate assembly elastoplastic interactive buckling behavior. A series of nonlinear finite element analyses for nonplastic section members with different axial compression ratio, flange widththickness ratio, web heightthickness ratio and flangeweb thickness ratio are performed to evaluate the ultimate moment ratio due to elastoplastic local interactive buckling. A number of correlation curves of ultimate moment ratio versus aforementioned parameters demonstrate that the ultimate moment ratio decreases significantly with increased axial compression ratio and flange widththickness ratio. The normalized fitting formula of ultimate moment ratio is achieved with high accuracy. The allowable widththickness ratio correlation curves are derived on the basis of the principle of simultaneous overall and local interactive buckling. The flange and web widththickness ratio limitations given in the Code for Design of Steel Structures may exceed the parameter regions enclosed by the allowable widththickness ratio correlation curves under certain conditions.
