Experimental Study on Mechanical Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel Three Limbs Built-up Section Members

Article Preview

Abstract:

18 specimens of cold-formed steel three limbs built-up section members are tested under axial compression load in this paper. The section forms are divided into two categories: A and B. Load-displacement (P-Δ) curves and failure characteristics of specimens are obtained. The results show that: As to section A members, the failure characteristics of LC, MC and SC series of specimens are flexural-torsional buckling, torsional buckling and distortional buckling, local buckling and distortional buckling. As to section B members, the failure characteristics of LC, MC series of specimens are flexural buckling, while local buckling and distortional buckling for members of SC series.
