This Study represents compatibility on Cold formed steel in I-Section beams and C-section beams with variable length parameters was 1000mm, 1500mm, 2000 mm under simply supported end condition subjected to uniformly distributed loading. The Cold formed steel is of shell type in Numerical simulation is carried out using the Software ABAQUS. For validation the series of parameters studies have been carried out using the numerical model of different parameters, such as the effect of length, width, thickness. CFS I-Section steel in various thickness of 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and 4mm with same loading conditions. CFS C-Section steel in various uneven flange width such as 500mm at the top flange and bottom flange of different width such as 400mm, 300mm, 200mm respectively in variable lengths with various loading conditions and with the thickness of about 1mm. For both I-Section and C-Section Beams the Effective Length ranges, MISES(max and min) and deflections(max and min) were taken for the analyse of the Sections. This study gives the way of finding the effective Section by the analysis of behaviour of I-Section beam and C-Section beam through the deflection results in various length variations in the beam Section using the ABAQUS software for finding the Structural behaviour in the more accuracy manner by applying meshing more finer for the Element Section in the Analyse of beam. The loading condition and the supporting condition applied to the beam section in different loading for getting the effective Section. For further stability in effective section we can use different types of connection.

With the increasing popularity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) constructions around the world, there have been attempts to produce CLT using local wood species in different countries, such as Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carr.) in China. Thus, the need to investigate the connection performance also increases to support the design and construction of CLT buildings using local wood species. In this study, the withdrawal properties of three different types of self-tapping screws (STS), with a diameter of 6 mm, 8 mm, and 11 mm, were tested with Japanese larch CLT. The results revealed that the withdrawal strength of STS increased with increasing density and effective length, but decreased with an increasing diameter. With a density increment of 0.05 g/cm3, the withdrawal strength increased by an average of 9.4%. With an effective length increment of 24 mm, the withdrawal strength increased by an average of 1.4%. An empirical regression model was adopted to predict the withdrawal strength of Japanese larch CLT based on the results, which can be used for potential engineering design of CLT connections using STS.

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.

From the old ancient types of roof and dome construction, various forms of shells have been discovered which attract special attention. A shell is a structure composed of sheet material so that the curvature plays an important role in the structural behaviour, realizing its spatial form. There are different types of shells, namely thick and thin shells. G. Brankov, S.N. Krivoshapko, V.N. Ivanov, and V.A. Romanova made interesting researches of shells in the form of umbrella and umbrella-type surfaces. The term nonlinear refers to a given structure undergoing a change in stiffness in its loaded state. There are basically three different types of nonlinearities: geometric, physical and contact (boundary condition nonlinearity). For further analysis of the stress-strain state, a paraboloid with an inner radius of 4 m and an outer radius of 20 m and the number of waves equal to 6 was considered. The test shell is made of reinforced concrete. The minimum load parameter at which the shell loses stability indicates a more than three times the margin.

The Formula Student competitions are held everyyear. This paper is the result of the analysis done on the sample car design that can be presented in the Formula Student competition. The purpose of the paper is to provide a final summary on chassis analysis and structural performance. It also talks about all the important analysis that is to be done on a Formula Student car to make it safe and perform well on the track. The design has been made such that it focusses on maximum adjustability, reliability, performance, safety, weight reduction and ease of manufacturing. The analysis was done to make sure the objectives of design are fulfilled. After going through many papers, documents, blogs and videos we found that many people get confused about the loading conditions and boundary conditions for different types of tests so this paper prioritizes to make people understand about those conditions as well as about the major tests required to perform complete analysis of Formula Student cars. The weight of the chassis was calculated as 36 kg approximately according to the data obtained from design modeler of Ansys workbench as well as Solidworks. The design sustained all the loading conditions and passed all the tests. Thus, one of the objective of this paper is to help other universities and passionate students to successfully design and analyze their cars that can pass all necessary tests included in the paper.

The paper presents a computational analysis of the effect constructional details of coped connections, assumed to be a fork support in calculations, on the critical LTB moment values. On the basis of analytical formulas by Lindner [1], a formula, having a simple form, was derived for the reduction factor rn for the critical LTB moment. The parameters for the formula were presented in a tabular form, taking into account the beam section (IPE/HEA), the type of beam to end-plate connection (Types 1-3), the load type (q / P) and the way the load is applied (top / bottom flange). The correctness of the derived formula was validated on the basis of the analytical results and the Finite Element Method results obtained with the Abaqus/CAE software. In the program, the beam geometric dimensions and connections were represented as volumetric finite elements. Additionally, the dimensions of the end-plate for IPE and HEA section series were arranged in a systematic manner following the British catalogue.

Two different types, one is the OSB panel perpendicular to the cold-formed thin steel and another the OSB panel parallel to the cold-formed thin steel, of self-tapping screw joints of cold-formed steel frame shear walls are tested under the monotonic loading. The load-displacement curves of the test specimens are obtained and the ultimate loads Fu and the corresponding displacements δu of two different types are analyzed. Fianlly, the conclusion that the influence from the direction between OSB and cold-formed thin steel to the performance of tapping screw joints is not significant is pointed up.

Cold Formed Steel

This paper presents a number of experimental and theoretical investigations into the structural behaviour of cold-formed steel structures with bolted connections. Firstly, the basic deformation characteristics of bolted fastenings between cold-formed steel strips in lap shear tests is described, and advanced finite element modelling with solid elements as well as contact elements is carried out for comparison. Secondly, the structural behaviour of lapped Z sections with bolted moment connections is reported, and both analytical and numerical predictions on strength and stiffness of lapped Z sections are presented. Finally, the structural performance of double span lapped Z purlins is investigated numerically where the effects of lapped Z sections over internal supports on the internal force distributions along the purlin members are examined. The description is intended to provide both analysis and design methods as well as understandings to structural engineers, enabling them to design and build cold-formed steel structures rationally with improved structural performance.

Cold Formed Steel

Cold-formed steel purlin systems with overlapped or sleeved connections are alternatives to continuous two-span systems and exhibit different degrees of continuity. Both connection types are highly favourable in practice since they are both strategically placed over an interior support to provide additional moment resistance and rotational capacity where the corresponding demands are at their largest, thus improving the overall structural efficiency. Until recently, full-scale testing has been the most common way of investigating the structural behaviour of such systems. In this study, numerical modelling, capable of capturing the complex contact interactions and instability phenomena, is employed. The developed finite element models are first validated against data from physical tests on cold-formed steel beams featuring sleeved and overlapped connections that have been previously reported in the literature. Following their validation, the models are employed for parametric studies, based on which the structural behaviour of the examined systems is explored, while the applicability of conventional plastic design as well as of a previously proposed design approach is investigated. Finally, the efficiency of these systems in terms of load-carrying capacity is compared with their equivalent continuous two-span systems.
