Creating strength chart for the design of cold-formed steel structures with cee section

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The paper researches on a method to create strength charts for Cold-formed Steel members based on the calculation process of compression and bending members by the Direct Strength Method according to AISI S100-16 Standard. Examples are given to determine the strength for Cold-formed Steel members with Cee sections. Our paper will also investigate members with many types of C sections with different lengths to build strength charts. The built charts will provide very effective support for the design of Cold-formed Steel Structures.

Key words: Cold-formed Steel; Compression, bending; The Direct Strength Method; AISI S100-16.
