A steel column that is reinforced by prestressed stays generally has an increased strength in axial compression. In the past, greater emphasis was placed on obtaining its higher critical buckling load. However, detailed knowledge of the post-buckling behaviour is important to ensure the safety and the efficiency of the structure. Although a few studies into the post-buckling behaviour exist, interactive buckling behaviour has never been investigated. As interactive buckling can lead to more dangerous instabilities, the current work examines this for the most popular stayed column configuration using nonlinear finite element analysis. It is shown that interactive buckling becomes the worst case, with a commensurate decrease in the maximum load capacity, where a higher mode governs the critical buckling response.
