Testing And Evaluation Of Light Gauge Steel Frame / 9.5 Mm Csp Wood Panel Shear Walls, David Rokas Nov 2006

Testing And Evaluation Of Light Gauge Steel Frame / 9.5 Mm Csp Wood Panel Shear Walls, David Rokas

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The use of light gauge steel framing elements sheathed with wood plywood or oriented strand board are becoming more common in the construction of structural shear walls for low-rise platform frame structural systems in Canada. Canadian standards and codes do not currently outline design methods for this type of wall system. Therefore, research at McGill University is underway to help develop design parameters for seismic and wind loading that can be used in conjunction with the 2005 National Building Code of Canada for this type of shear wall system. The research is based on the monotonic and reversed cyclic testing …

Stress Gradient Effect On The Buckling Of Thin Plates, Cheng Yu, Benjamin W. Schafer Oct 2006

Stress Gradient Effect On The Buckling Of Thin Plates, Cheng Yu, Benjamin W. Schafer

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

This paper presents an analytical method to calculate the buckling stress of a rectangular thin plate under nonuniform applied axial stresses. Two cases are considered, buckling of a plate simply supported on all four sides and buckling of a plate simply supported on three sides with one unloaded edge free and the opposite unloaded edge rotationally restrained. These two cases illustrate the influence of stress (moment) gradient on stiffened and unstiffened elements, respectively. The axial stress gradient is equilibrated by shear forces along the supported edges. A Rayleigh-Ritz solution with an assumed deflection function as a combination of a polynomial …


Distortional Buckling Of Cold-Formed Steel Members, Maximiliano Malite, Roberto Martins Goncalves, Jorge Munaiar Neto, Gustavo M. B. Chodraui Oct 2006

Distortional Buckling Of Cold-Formed Steel Members, Maximiliano Malite, Roberto Martins Goncalves, Jorge Munaiar Neto, Gustavo M. B. Chodraui

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

Cold-formed steel members are widely employed in steel construction because their structural components are lighter and more economical than traditional hot-rolled ones. Nowadays, the easy availability and accessible cost of high-strength low-alloy steels, weathering steels and zinc-coated steels have led to members with high width/thickness ratios, rendering them even more susceptible to local buckling, which is characterized by a plate buckling and which can also lead to another buckling mode called distortional buckling, affecting mainly members with edge stiffeners (lipped channels and Z-sections, hat, rack, etc.). Hence, current versions of technical codes for cold-formed steel design have warned about the …


Local-Plate And Distortional Post-Buckling Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Lipped Channel Columns With Intermediate Stiffeners, Nuno Silvestre, Dinar Camotim Oct 2006

Local-Plate And Distortional Post-Buckling Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Lipped Channel Columns With Intermediate Stiffeners, Nuno Silvestre, Dinar Camotim

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

This paper reports the results of an investigation concerning the local-plate and distortional post-buckling behavior of cold-formed steel lipped channel columns with web and flange intermediate stiffeners. They have all been obtained through geometrically non-linear analyses based on a recently developed and implemented Generalized Beam Theory (GBT) formulation that incorporates (i) conventional (shear undeformable), (ii) shear (non-linear warping) and (iii) transverse extension deformation modes. These results, some of which are compared with values yielded by shell finite element analyses performed in the code ABAQUS (mostly for validation purposes), provide the evolution, along a given local-plate or distortional post-buckling equilibrium path, …


Distortional Buckling Tests On Cold-Formed Steel Beams, Cheng Yu, Benjamin W. Schafer Oct 2006

Distortional Buckling Tests On Cold-Formed Steel Beams, Cheng Yu, Benjamin W. Schafer

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)

Laterally braced cold-formed steel beams generally fail due to local or distortional buckling. When the compression flange is not restrained by attachment to sheathing or paneling, such as in negative bending of continuous members (joist, purlins, etc.), members are prone to distortional failures. However, distortional buckling remains a largely unaddressed problem in the main body of the North American Specification (NAS 2001). Only a limited amount of experimental data on unrestricted distortional buckling in bending is available, therefore a new series of distortional buckling tests was completed. The test details are selected specifically to insure that distortional buckling is free …
