EXPERIMENTAL COMPRESSION TESTS OF COLD-FORMED STEEL (CFS) TO VERIFY ITS CODE-BASED STRENGTH
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) is a good construction material because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, that is, it exhibits efficient load carrying capabilities in combination with lightweight characteristics. Although CFS already being used construction, information on structural performance locally-produced the Philippines scarce. To date, authors have not found any experimental study done regarding CFS. In this study, C-section and Z-section are studied since these members exhibit buckling failures may be difficult to predict due complexity their section geometry. The objective paper present sections when subjected concentric axial compression both experimentally computationally. For part, were using hydraulic jack. High-speed video cameras capture different failure modes. computational aspect, provisions National Structural Code (NSCP) calculate strength members. A total 80 specimens 5 lengths thicknesses tested. It was calculations NSCP consistent results tests. shorter lengths, distortional prevailed as main failure, while for longer torsional-flexural occurred. All predicted strengths highly conservative. Z-section, 180 6 Torsional-flexural observed majority specimens. most modes correctly, relatively compared results, thus non-conservative. Finite Element Method (FEM) analyses ANSYS conducted. Findings indicate experiment agreed well FEM results.

Simulation of conventional cold-formed steel sections formed from Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS)
The objective of this paper is to explore the potential impact of the use of advanced high strength steel (AHSS) to form traditional cold-formed steel structural members. In this study, shell finite element models are constructed, and geometric and material nonlinear collapse analysis performed, on simulated lipped channel cross-section cold-formed steel members roll-formed from AHSS. AHSS shee...

متن کاملDistortional Buckling Tests on Cold-Formed Steel Beams
Failure in cold-formed steel beams is generally initiated by one of three instabilities: local, distortional, or lateral-torsional buckling. For cold-formed steel joists, purlins, or girts, when the compression flange is not restrained by attachment to sheathing or paneling, distortional buckling may be the predominant failure mode. Experimental results on cold-formed steel beams with unrestrai...

Lightweight cold-formed steel (CFS) framing is an effective building solution for low and mid-rise structures. However, systems level response and component contributions as well as their interactions such as those from lateral-load resisting systems, floor diaphragms, studs to track connections, etc., are not fully understood. Existing building codes for the CFS frame buildings are based solel...
