N2 - This chapter is written in tribute to Dinar Camotim and aims to highlight his most remarkable scientific contributions to the advancement of the body of knowledge in the field of thin-walled member analysis and design. After the introduction, which includes an overview of Dinar Camotim’s career, key developments concerning the stability and second-order behaviour of pitched-roof steel frames are presented. Next, his contributions to understanding the lateral-torsional buckling behaviour of web-tapered I-section beams are described, followed by a summary of the novel formulations and applications of Generalised Beam Theory, comprising a wide range of analysis and member types. Before closing, with the concluding remarks, his extensive work on the behaviour and Direct Strength Method (DSM) design of cold-formed steel members, at room and elevated temperatures, is reviewed. It is hoped that this selection underscores the profound impact of Dinar Camotim’s research, which will continue to shape both theoretical and practical advancements in the field.
