Abstract: Cold-formed steel lipped channel beams (LCBs) are used extensively in residential, industrial, and commercial buildings as load-bearing structural elements. Their shear capacities are considerably reduced when the web ...

Abstract: A LiteSteel beam (LSB) is a new cold-formed steel hollow flange channel beam produced by using a patented manufacturing process involving simultaneous cold-forming and dual electric resistance welding. It has the beneficial ...

Abstract: Lipped channel beams (LCBs) are commonly used as flexural members such as floor joists and bearers in the construction industry. These thin-walled LCBs are subjected to specific buckling and failure modes, one of them being ...

Abstract: Web crippling failure governs the behavior of thin cold-formed steel lipped channel beams (LCBs) used in floor systems. This paper describes a numerical modeling–based research study undertaken to investigate the web ...
