Ductility of Concrete Encased Cold-Formed Steel Beam with Trapezoidally Corrugated Web

Article Preview

Abstract:

Engineers have realized that corrugated webs enormously increase their load carrying capacity as well as stability against buckling and can result in very economical design. In this paper, the results of the experiments conducted on cold-formed steel beam with encased trapezoidally corrugated webs with a view to study their strength and ductility are presented. The ductility of cold-formed steel beam with plain web and corrugated web is compared with that of encased trapezoidally corrugated web. Data presented include the load versus deflection curves, load versus strain curves, strength capacity, displacement ductility indices and moment versus curvature curves. It is found that the beam with encased trapezoidally web not only increases the moment carrying capacity but also the ductility. The results showed that the Super elastic property of encased corrugated web beams enhances the usage of it in the earthquake resistant structures.
