Abstract: On the basis of the failure criteria developed in an earlier paper by the writers, the utilization of partial section plastification in cold‐formed steel flexural members is presented. As in the limit design procedures ...

Abstract: Post‐yielding strength of redundant cold‐formed steel flexural members, due to moment redistribution, is presented. The reserve strength due to section plastification is discussed in an accompanying paper. In an earlier ...

Abstract: The inelastic load carrying capacity of cold‐formed steel beams with stiffened compression flanges has been investigated. A failure criterion, based on the ultimate compressive strain, is developed experimentally for beams ...

Abstract: An effective section method is presented for analyzing the effects of local buckling on the overall modes of behavior of singly symmetric, thinwalled columns and beam‐columns. The post‐local buckling strength of the component ...

Abstract: An extensive experimental investigation of the residual stresses in cold‐formed steel members is presented. The electrical discharge machining (EDM) technique is used to cut coupons for residual stress measurement. As ...

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed description of an experimental study of the flexural buckling strength of cold‐formed steel columns. A total of 68 columns and 25 stub columns are tested. It is observed that some types of ...

Abstract: Local buckling interaction between component plate elements of uniformly compressed, channel and lipped channel, steel stub columns is studied. An experimental investigation is reported to quantify the structural response. ...

Abstract: The overall behavior under axial loading of cold‐formed steel wall stud assemblies is investigated. Wall stud assemblies consist of several wall studs acting as beam columns, top and bottom tracks to restrain the ends of ...

Abstract: The effects of loading eccentricity on axial strength of cold‐formed steel lipped channels are investigated in a series of 48 individual long‐column tests. Experimental results are compared with flexural and torsional‐flexural ...

Abstract: Local buckling behavior of cold‐formed steel wall studs with rectangular web perforations is investigated experimentally and analytically. Stub column tests on short sections not subject to overall buckling are examined. ...
