This study investigates the axial load behavior of an existing composite wall consists of a double-skinned profiled steel sheet in-filled with normal concrete. Three different composite walls in three-dimensional finite element models were developed, i.e. profiled steel sheet (PSS), core concrete, and the full composite wall system. The models were simulated and compared with the experimental results published by other researchers. Studies are then carried out on different effect of varying the PSS thicknesses, an embedded octagon cold-formed steel (CFS) thickness, and an embedded octagon CFS supported by two stiffeners with different shapes. As a result, the ultimate axial load of the composite wall was increased by approximately 3.3% when PSS thickness changed from 0.8 mm to 1.0mm. Meanwhile, the ultimate axial load was also increased by 17% and 55% when an embedded octagon CFS with thicknesses of 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm were used. Lastly, the ultimate axial load was raised by 54% and 78% when an L-shaped and a T-shaped stiffener were added.

Within the WELLFORMED research project, ongoing at the CEMSIG Research Center of the Politehnica University of Timisoara, a new technological solution was proposed for built-up beams made of corrugated steel sheets for the web and thin-walled cold-formed steel profiles for the flanges, connected by spot welding. The research project integrates an extensive experimental program on such beams, using full scale specimens, to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solutions and to assess their performance, followed by numerical simulations to characterize and optimize the connecting details. The present paper presents the results of a large experimental program, on small specimens subjected to shear, consisting of two or three layers of steel sheet connected by spot welding.

Cold-formed steel (CFS) is known as slender or class 4 section due to high ratio of web-to-thickness ratio. The compressive strength of this type of section is usually very low as it tends to fail due to distortion and warping before reaching the actual compressive strength. The aim of this study is to determine the ultimate capacity of build-up lipped CFS assembled with ferrocement jacket where web-stiffener is provided as the proposed composite column (CFFCC) is under axial compression load. Nine specimens of composite columns were prepared and tested. The main parameters varied in the CFFCC columns are column height, cold-formed steel thickness and influence of ferrocement jacket and web-stiffener. There are three different heights of the CFFCC composite column namely 2000mm, 3000mm and 4000mm used in this study. All CFFCC columns were tested under axial load where a thick steel plate is used to evenly distribute the applied load. The results show the effect of providing both the ferrocement jacket to increase the confinement effect and the web stiffener to provide sufficient lateral support to the column web. A significant increase in both the strength and the ductility of the specimens under axial loading has been recorded. The strength capacity of CFFCC has been improved by about 178% greater than that of bare steel column. Also it is found that, axial load capacity of CFS-ferrocement jacket composite columns (CFFCC) were increased with the increase in thickness of CFS. The use of web-stiffener has improved the axial load capacity of the column but not that significant.

Through analyzing the molding process characteristics of cold-formed steel sheet piling, mechanical testing and metallographic analysis was made on the curved position of the U-shaped cold-formed steel sheet piling , the following conclusions was drawn: Cold formed steel sheet pile was subjected to the complex cross-section cold roll forming process, resulting in the uneven performance of a steel sheet piling along the horizontal. For the open cold formed steel of asymmetric steel sheet piling and complex cross section, a simple test at flat panel location is difficult to represent the overall performance of cold-formed steel, therefore it is necessary to make a comprehensive performance test on locking. A test method to check the locking occlusion performance on the cold bending steel plate is put forward. The experimental tensile strength of the Q235 level of ordinary carbon steel production of cold-formed steel sheet piling locking bite is 66MPa.
