Evaluating The Lrfd Factor For Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members, Karthik Ganesan, Christopher D. Moen Nov 2010

Evaluating The Lrfd Factor For Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members, Karthik Ganesan, Christopher D. Moen

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

This paper summarizes recent work to determine if the LRFD resistance factor for cold-formed steel compression member s can be increased above its current value of φ c =0.85. An experimental database of 675 concentrically loaded columns with plain and lipped C-sections, plain and lipped Z-sections, hat sections and angle sections, including members with holes was compiled. The predicted strength of each specimen was calculated with the AISI-S100-07 Main Specification and Direct Strength Method (DSM). Test-to-predicted strength statistics were employed with the first order second moment reliability approach in AISI-S100-07 Chapter F to calculate the resistance factors. The observed trends …

Buckling Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Members With General Boundary Conditions Using Cufsm Conventional And Constrained Finite Strip Methods, Z. Li, B. W. Schafer Nov 2010

Buckling Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Members With General Boundary Conditions Using Cufsm Conventional And Constrained Finite Strip Methods, Z. Li, B. W. Schafer

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

The objective of this paper is to provide the theoretical background and illustrative examples for elastic buckling analysis of cold-formed steel members with general boundary conditions as implemented in the forthcoming update to CUFSM. CUFSM is an open source finite strip elastic stability analysis program freely distributed by the senior author. Although the finite strip method presents a general methodology, the conventional implementation (e.g. CUFSM v 3.13 or earlier) employs only simply-supported boundary conditions. In this paper, utilizing specially selected longitudinal shape functions, the conventional finite strip method is extended to general boundary conditions, including the conventional case: simply-simply supported, …


Arc-Spot Welds For Multi-Overlap Roof Deck Panels, N. Guenfoud, R. Tremblay, C. A. Rogers Nov 2010

Arc-Spot Welds For Multi-Overlap Roof Deck Panels, N. Guenfoud, R. Tremblay, C. A. Rogers

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

Roof deck construction often incorporates cold-formed steel panels that are connected to the underlying framing with the use of arc-spot welds. The welds are commonly located in areas where multiple layers of roof deck exist, such as at sidelaps or endlaps. CSA S136 restricts the use of multi-layer connections to being less than 2.5 mm thick; as well, the thickness of the supporting steel must exceed 2.5 times the aggregate thickness of the deck. In effect, the standard does not allow for the use of arc-spot welds for 18 ga (1.21 mm) and 16 ga (1.52 mm) roof deck panels. …


Cyclic Elastoplastic Large Displacement Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Box Columns Under Combined Action Of Axial And Bidirectional Lateral Loading, Iraj H. P. Mamaghani, Saman Montazeri Nov 2010

Cyclic Elastoplastic Large Displacement Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Box Columns Under Combined Action Of Axial And Bidirectional Lateral Loading, Iraj H. P. Mamaghani, Saman Montazeri

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

This paper deals with the cyclic elastoplastic large displacement analysis of cold-formed steel box columns under combined action of axial and bidirectional lateral loading. Cold-formed steel box columns are very useful in highway bridge pier construction as they offer flexible space requirement and provide speedy construction. Behavior of cold-formed steel box columns under earthquake-induced loads is rather complicated as earthquakes occur in an oblique direction. However, modern seismic design philosophies have been based on the behavior of structures under independent actions of uni-directional loading in orthogonal directions. In this study, inelastic cyclic behavior of steel columns subjected to constant axial …


Experimental Investigation Of Optimized Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members, D. J. Klingshirn, E. A. Sumner, N. A. Rahman Nov 2010

Experimental Investigation Of Optimized Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members, D. J. Klingshirn, E. A. Sumner, N. A. Rahman

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

In the past, standard C - shaped metal studs have been the only option for designers and contractors when selecting a cross section for load bearing compression members. T he sigma shaped section has recently emerged as an alternative to the C - section. The sigma shaped section is very similar to the C - shape, with the exception of having an intermediate web return and complex stiffeners. The experimental results of concentric axial compression tests of fifty - eight sigma shaped members are reported. Specimen s were tested at various lengths to force global, distortional, and local buckling failure …


Comparative Behavior Of Built-Up Cold-Formed Box Sections Under Rigid And Flexible End Support Conditions, W. Reyes, F. A. Guzman Nov 2010

Comparative Behavior Of Built-Up Cold-Formed Box Sections Under Rigid And Flexible End Support Conditions, W. Reyes, F. A. Guzman

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

According to section D1.2 of AISI S100-2007 for compression members composed of two sections in contact whose buckling mode involves shear forces in the connectors, a reduction must be made, KL r ⁄ must be replaced by ሺ KL r ⁄ሻ ୫ . This new modified slenderness ratio takes into account the connection weld spacing and the minimum radius of gyration of an individual shape in the built-up member. Under the provisions of section D1.2 a reduction in load capacity must be made for built-up welded box members, which are the subject of this study. An experimental investigation on 48 …


Theoretical Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Battened Double Angle Members Under Compression, W. F. Maia, J. Munaiar Neto, M. Malite Nov 2010

Theoretical Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Battened Double Angle Members Under Compression, W. F. Maia, J. Munaiar Neto, M. Malite

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

In Brazil, battened double angle system is one of the systems most used in light truss, however, there are not any specific studies on its behavior, resulting in the fact that the standard procedures do not provide subsidies for the design of this section. Moreover, cold-formed steel si mple angles under compression, mostly with slender legs, have an interesting structural behavior compared to other cold-formed steel shapes. Two critical modes are observed in the elastic stability analysis: (i) global flexural mode in the case of longer members and (ii) a coincident local-plate/global flexural-torsional mode, which is critical for shorter members. …


Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections For Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock Nov 2010

Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections For Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock

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

The Direct Strength Method (DSM) rece ntly included in the North American Specification and Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4600:2005 gives design rules for compression and bending. No rules are presente d at this stage for shear. Two series of tests on C-section can be used to develop and calibrate rules for design in shear. These are the University of Missouri Rolla tests of the 1970’s and recent tests on high strength C-sections at the University of Sydney. Both series of tests use a similar test rig altho ugh different levels of tension field action have been observed. Two features research …


Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections In Combined Bending And Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock Nov 2010

Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections In Combined Bending And Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock

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

The paper describes a research program including tests on both plain C- and SupaCee ® purlin sections in combined bending and shear, and bending only. The high strength SupaCee ® profile steel sections contain additional return lips and web stiffeners which enhance the bending and shear capacity of the sections. They are used widely in Austra lia as purlins in roof and wall systems. The tests were performed at the University of Sydney with and without straps on the flange and thus allowed distortional buckling in the latter case. Design methods for these sections are normally specified in the Australian/New …


On The Direct Strength Design Of Continuous Cold-Formed Steel Beams, Cilmar Basaglia, Dinar Camotim Nov 2010

On The Direct Strength Design Of Continuous Cold-Formed Steel Beams, Cilmar Basaglia, Dinar Camotim

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

The work reported in this paper concerns an ongoing investigation aimed at developing an efficient methodology to design continuous cold-formed steel beams failing in modes that combine local, distortional and global features. At this stage, it is intended to assess how accurately can the load-carrying capacity of lipped channel continuous (two and three-span) beams subjected to non-uniform bending be predicted by means of the current Direct Strength Method (DSM) design curves. “Exact” ultimate strength values yielded by geometrically and materially non-linear shell finite element analyses are compared with estimates provided by the DSM equations and, on the basis of this …


Cross-Aisle Stiffness Tests On Rack Upright Frames, S. R. Sajja, R. G. Beale, M. H. R. Godley Nov 2010

Cross-Aisle Stiffness Tests On Rack Upright Frames, S. R. Sajja, R. G. Beale, M. H. R. Godley

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

The US Rack Manufacturers Institution (RMI) code uses a theoretical formula derived by Timoshenko and the new Eurocode EN15512 requires testing. There is a considerable difference in the stiffn ess values determined by two approaches. This paper describes the experiments conducted on 80 full sized upright frames at Oxford Brookes University varying upright size, number of panels in the frame, aspect ratio of the panel (panel length/depth), restraints at the intermediate nodes of the frame, loading pattern, lacing pattern (channels back to back or front to front) and bolt tightness. The experimental data reported can be used in proposing revised …


Frame Analysis And Design Of Industrial Cold-Formed Steel Racks, Teoman Pekoz, Ali Karakaplan, Ali Koç Nov 2010

Frame Analysis And Design Of Industrial Cold-Formed Steel Racks, Teoman Pekoz, Ali Karakaplan, Ali Koç

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

Industrial cold-formed steel racks have semi-rigid joints between the columns and beams. Frame analysis of such structures call for special considerations that are studied in this paper. The current design approach uses a linear idealization of the moment-rotation relation relationship based on an empirically decided secant to the nonlinear moment rotation curve. This study presents a refined analytical approach to the analysis such frames using the state-of-art finite elemen t based nonlinear analysis program LARSA 4D. Parametric studies are carri ed out to obtain an accurate design approach for usin g computer programs that treat linear moment-rotation relationships.
