A Eurocode-compliant design approach was developed for the of thin-walled cold-formed steel sections which combines AISI S100-16-Direct Strength Method (DSM) with provisions EN 1993-1-3. The new transfers cross-sectional resistance determined acc. to DSM based on numerical elastic buckling analyses gross cross-section into global member verification Additional factors were introduced optimize a...

The immediate buckling model is an essential element for simulating realistic cloth animations without introducing buckling instability. The original model is restricted to structured regular quad meshes, by which its use is severely limited. This paper extends the immediate buckling model from its original formulation in terms of regular quad meshes to irregular triangular meshes, thereby sign...

The present paper aims to develop an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) formula predict the lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) resistance of slender steel cellular beams. A finite element model is developed and validated through experimental tests followed by a parametric study. 768 models are employed train ANN formula. results compared with analytical as well equation predicted ANN. It was conclud...

A series of tests on cold-formed steel foamed concrete (CSFC) composite walls subjected to axial load were proposed. The primary purpose of the experiments was to study the mechanical behavior and identify the failure modes of CSFC composite walls. Two main factors were considered in this study: 1) specimen with pouring foamed concrete or without and 2) different foamed concrete density ranks (...

Cold-formed steel structures are a type of fabrication that is commonly employed in building construction. Before manufacture, they designed precisely to the appropriate dimensions using ABAQUS software. Both strength cross-section and distortional buckling determine load-carrying capability section. It was found thin walls some cold-formed sections suffered under light loads, these elements co...
