An experimental study on the axial behaviour of cold-formed steel wall studs and panels

The double C steel section is made of two C steels with gusset plate through bolts. A ridge joint of double C steel is studied through experiment under cyclic loading in this paper. Through the four specimens with different gusset-plate’s thickness and bolt spacing, we analyze the effect of the gusset-plate’s thickness and bolt spacing on stiffness, ductility and energy performance. At last we recommend the suitable gusset-plate’s thickness. The results can give a reference to the engineering application of cold-formed steel structure.

Flexural Torsional Buckling

18 specimens of cold-formed steel three limbs built-up section members are tested under axial compression load in this paper. The section forms are divided into two categories: A and B. Load-displacement (P-Δ) curves and failure characteristics of specimens are obtained. The results show that: As to section A members, the failure characteristics of LC, MC and SC series of specimens are flexural-torsional buckling, torsional buckling and distortional buckling, local buckling and distortional buckling. As to section B members, the failure characteristics of LC, MC series of specimens are flexural buckling, while local buckling and distortional buckling for members of SC series.
