The collapse induced by the buckling of compression steel members is severe in steel structures engineering.It is a new field to control the buckling of compression steel members and to increase its stability bearing capacity with the technology of active buckling control.Active control of buckling has a good prospect because of its explicit control mechanism and its well control effect.After the design idea of this technology was introduced,this paper analyzed the feasibility of buckling control of compression steel members.Then the related research progress of several typical buckling control methods and their applicability together with the outline of their design and analysis were represented in this paper.And lastly some issues further studied were put forward.
