Having discussed the basic principles of the two different schools of thought on buckling theory (rotary symmetric theories and non-symmetric theories), the author proposes some asymmetric buckling formulae giving design examples of the steel-lined pressure shafts for the Matucana power plant in Peru and the Hornberg project in Switzerland. The last part of the article gives formulae for ring-stiffened pipes. /TRRL/
