Recently, the
cold-formed steel has been considerably adopted in the construction of
steel structures such as buildings, bridges, transmission towers, and
highway products due to the demand of market. Even the thickness of
cold-formed steel is quite thin as compared to the structure-used steel,
the cold-formed steel structure can still take sufficient load-carrying
capacity. Therefore, the development of cold-formed steel structure
plays a very important role in the recent and future construction
field. The concept of effective sectional area is adopted in the
design of cold-formed steel members. Based on the design effective
width, the load-carrying capacity of compression element can be
calculated. In addition to the geometrical shape factor, the effective
width of compression element can be affected by the stiffened conditions
at its two sides. It will be more sophisticated in the computation of
the member strength for the section with openings. The web
perforation can provide space for electrical conduits and
bracing. Therefore, it has the meanings and motive for the study of
C-shaped section with web openings. The strength of a compression member
can be influenced by the section shape, thickness of section, length of
member, and support condition. This study is concentrated on the
affect of web perforation and the support condition. The finite-element
software ANSYS 6.0 was conducted in this research. The comparisons will
be made between the calculated values and experimental results. The
prediction according to AISI-Code seems to be overestimated as compare
to the test results. It was also found that the stress distribution in
the compression member can be affected by the type of overall
buckling. |
