Formed Channel

In recent years the utilization of cold formed steel has been redoubled. This is because high strength to weight ratio of the cold formed steel. The thicknesses cold formed steel members usually range from 0.3 mm to 6.35 mm. The most used cold formed sections are C and Z sections. These sections can be used as secondary beams (purlins) for roof covering, side girts, decks, and panels. Scope of this present study is to investigate the effect on load carrying capacity of cold formed channel sections provided with flange stiffeners. In this project, eighteen numbers of channel sections were analysed by keeping the height to thickness ratio (h/t) as constant and by varying flange width to thickness ratio (b/t) using Ansys 14.0. The h/t ratio and b/t ratio considered are 50 and 25, 35, 45 respectively. The thickness and span of all specimens were kept as 2 mm and 1500 mm respectively. Simply supported boundary condition and two points loading was adopted for both the numerical and experimental analysis. Three numbers of channel sections were fabricated and tested experimentally to check the consistency of results with numerical analysis. The ultimate load and deformed shape of three specimens were obtained from experimental results are compared with the analytical results acquired from Ansys 14.0

Hot Rolled Steel

Cold formed steel differ from hot rolled steel by its lesser thickness and weight. The cold formed steel applicable in roof purlin, pipe racks and wall panels etc. Due its lesser wall thickness the cold formed steel member subjected to buckling. The enhancement of load carrying capacity of the cold formed steel member can be achieved by external strengthening of CFRP. In this study cold formed channel members connected back to back to form I shaped cross section using screws. These built up beam members were 300mm, 400mm and 500mm in length with 100mm screw spacing and edge distance of 50mm were chosen for testing. CFRP fabric cut according to length, width of built up beams and wrapped outer surface of beam using epoxy resin. Experiments were carried out in two sets firstly plain built up beams and secondly CFRP wrapped beams. The test results shows that increased load carrying capacity and reduction in deflection due to CFRP strengthening. Experimental results were compared with AISI standards which are in good agreement. Experimental results shows that CFRP strengthening is economic and reliable.

In this paper, load-carrying and deformation capacity of tension lap splices that have both welds and bolts acting in the same shear plane are studied using numerical method. The failure criterion of bolts and welds are given based on the finite element calculation and compared with existing experiment results, it shows that the established numerical model is correct and reliable. The strength of longitudinal welds and the bearing capacity of the high-strength bolts before slipping can be fully used in the combined joints, the bolts and welds fail almost simultaneously. The deformation of welds in combined connections is less uniform than its’ deformation in welded joints as the welds fails, and it causes the deformation of welds as failure is larger in combined connections than in welded connections. The deformation capacity of the combined joint are slightly increased contrasted with bolts joint and welds joint because of the interplay of bolts and welds acting in the same shear plane. The strengths of welds and bolts performed in combined connections can reach 0.95 and the deformation of combined connection is increased at least 1.10 times as the welds connection or the bolts connection.

Multiple Cell

Compression tests were conducted on high-strength single-cell and multiple-cell box sections with plate width-to-thickness (b/t) ratios ranging from 48 to 96. Local plate buckling occurred at stresses as low as 5 percent of the yield stress, whereas the ultimate compression stress ranged from 38 to 72 percent of the yield stress. These critical stresses were not significantly affected by the length of the specimen, the number of cells, the boundary conditions, or lateral load. Simple empirical design equations based only on b/t gave estimates of the collapse strength within five percent in all cases. Finite-element analyses were able to predict the significant reserve load-carrying capacity and ductility after ultimate load, which was dependent on the length of the specimen as well as the b/t ratio.

Ultimate Load Carrying Capacity

To obtain a better understanding of the behavior and load-carrying capacity of Q460 high-strength single-angle compression members bolted by one leg, using static loading way to 48 angles carried out experimental study. The experiments show test specimens produce biaxial bending, most small slenderness ratio members are controlled by local buckling, and slender specimens are controlled by overall buckling. In addition to these factors in model experiment, influences of residual stresses on ultimate load-carrying capacity were analyzed by finite element numerical simulation analysis, the results show the residual stresses affect the ultimate load-carrying capacity of angles by about 5％ or less. Comparison of the load-carrying capacity of experimental and theoretical results indicate the difference of experimental and finite element values ranges from -9.99％ to +9.76％, American Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structure (ASCE10-1997) and Chinese Code for Design of Steel Structures (GB50017-2003) underestimate separately the experimental load-carrying capacity by about 2.34％～33.93％ and 1.18％～63.3％, and the agreement is somewhat good between experimental program and the finite element analysis. Based on model experiment and simulated experiment, the formula of stability coefficient of single-angle compression members was established. It provides basic data for spreading Q460 high-strength single-angles members attached by one leg.

Cold Formed Steel

The construction and building sectors are currently responsible globally for a significant share of the total energy consumption and energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. The use of Modern Methods of Construction can help reduce this, one example being the use of cold-formed steel (CFS) construction. CFS channel sections have inherent advantages, such as their high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent potential for recycling and reusing. CFS members can be rolled into different cross-sectional shapes and optimizing these shapes can further improve their load-bearing capacities, resulting in a more economical and efficient building solution. Conversely, the high thermal conductivity of steel can lead to thermal bridges, which can significantly reduce the building’s thermal performance and energy efficiency. Hence, it is also essential to consider the thermal energy performance of the CFS structures. This paper reviews the existing studies on the structural optimization of CFS sections and the thermal performance of such CFS structures. In total, over 160 articles were critically reviewed. The methodologies used in the existing literature for optimizing CFS members for both structural and thermal performances have been summarized and presented systematically. Research gaps from the existing body of knowledge have been identified, providing guidelines for future research.

The Impact

There are two structural members used in steel construction the hot rolled members and the cold formed members. They are light members compared to the traditional heavier hot rolled steel structural members used in the field. They have high strength to weight ratio resulting in less dead weight making it a good option in construction of bridges roof trusses transmission line towers multi storied buildings and other structural members. This paper is done to understand the flexural capacity and to enhance it by developing innovative latticed cold formed steel beam. The impact of web opening of the cold formed beam on the flexural behavior of cold formed built-up I section under two point loading is investigated for the simply supported end conditions. Numerical analysis is performed using finite element analysis (FEM) software. From results, the load vs. Deflection curve, failure modes and ultimate load carrying capacity of the specimen presented in this paper. Therefore the main focus of this project is to investigate the flexural behavior of these steel members and by replacing the lattice hot rolled section by cold formed steel sections. The ultimate load carrying capacity with failure mode of simulated FEA models was compared with experimental results.

Partially Restrained

In this paper, a finite element analysis model for C-section cold-formed steel members partially restrained in its rotational direction by sheeting is established. Analyses are carried out using the model to examine the ultimate load carrying capability of the members when they are subjected to uplift wind loading. The analyses consider the material and geometric nonlinearities. The numerical analysis results show that the sheeting restraints have significant influence on the structural performance of the C-section purlin. It can increase the ultimate load carrying capacity evidently.

The Cost

In this paper, the bending moment capacity for metallic pipes has been investigated to provide criteria for optimizing the cost effectiveness in pipeline seabed intervention design. An analytical solution for the ultimate load-carrying capacity of pipes subjected to combined pressure, longitudinal force, and bending has been derived and thoroughly compared against results obtained by the finite element method. The derived equations can be used for high-strength materials with isotropic as well as anisotropic stress/strain characteristics, and may be applied for pipelines, risers, and piping if safety factors are calibrated in accordance with appropriate target safety levels.

Ultimate Load Carrying Capacity

This paper studied 30 cold-formed steel columns with three different sections and eleven different eccentricities under eccentric compression loading by nonlinear finite element analysis using program ANSYS. Effects of the above parameters on ultimate load-carrying capacity, buckling modes, the distribution of stress and strain, and deflection behavior of channels with complex edge stiffeners under eccentric compression loading were investigated. The result shows that influence of the effective centroid offset on carrying capacity under eccentric compression loading can not be ignored. The maximum of ultimate load-carrying capacity appeared when effective eccentricity was 0mm, and decreased with the increase of the value of effective eccentricity. Sections influence on load-carrying capacity under negative eccentric compression loading. Web stiffening can improve load-carrying capacity which the eccentricity near the web side. Sections influence on buckling modes. web stiffening can effectively avoid local buckling.
