Nonlinear Numerical Study of Cold-Formed Lipped Channel Beam-Columns

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cold-formed lipped channel sections may fail in local, distortional and overall buckling under compression. With the development of computer technology, finite element analyses of these sections play increasing important roles in engineering practice for economic design and time-saving purpose. A kind of typical cold-formed lipped channel beam-column with varying load eccentricity was analyzed in this paper by using the finite element program of ANSYS to observe the buckling modes and load carrying capacities of the columns. All the results can be the reference for further studies.
