Abstract: A distortional mode of buckling is described for cold‐formed lipped channel columns that have additional flanges attached to the flange stiffening lips. The purpose of the additional flanges, called “rear flanges,” is to ...

Abstract: This paper describes a series of bending tests to examine the influence of web slenderness on the rotation capacity of cold-formed rectangular hollow sections (RHS) for use in plastic design. The results indicate that the ...

Abstract: A series of tests on cold-formed unlipped channels with comparatively stocky webs and subjected to web crippling is presented in this paper. The web slenderness values of the channels ranged from 15.3 to 45. The tests were ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of cold-formed channels subjected to combined bending and web crippling is described in this paper. A series of tests was performed on unlipped channels rolled from high strength structural ...

Abstract: The paper describes a series of tests on cold-formed channels with inclined simple edge stiffeners compressed between fixed ends. The simple edge stiffeners of the channel sections consist of simple lips. The new North ...

Abstract: This paper describes tests on various types of knee joints for steel portal frames constructed from cold-formed rectangular hollow sections (RHS) to examine the ability of the connections to form plastic hinges. Welded ...

Abstract: This paper describes a series of compression tests performed on stub columns fabricated from cold-formed high strength steel plates with nominal yield stress of

Abstract: This paper describes a series of compression tests performed on lipped channel section columns fabricated from cold-reduced high strength steel of thickness

Abstract: A test program on cold-formed steel channels subjected to concentrated bearing load is presented in this paper. The web slenderness values of the channel specimens ranged from comparatively stocky webs of 15.3 to relatively ...
