This paper provides an overview of the Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) fundamentals and reports on the novel formulations and applications recently developed at the TU Lisbon: the use of conventional GBT to derive analytical distortional buckling formulae and extensions to cover (i) the buckling behaviour of members with (i1) branched, closed and closed/branched cross-sections and (i2) made of orthotropic and elastic-plastic materials, and (ii) the vibration and post-buckling behaviours of elastic isotropic/orthotropic members. In order to illustrate the usefulness and potential of the new GBT formulations, a few numerical results are presented and briefly discussed. Finally, some (near) future developments are briefly mentioned. © 2006 Springer.
