Abstract

Now a days, hot rolled sections are used in abundance in steel structures. Therefore the structures are heavy because of its self-weight. Moreover, the fabrication and moulding of these steel members require more capital and skilled labor. To overcome the limitations of hot rolled sections, alternative material that is cold formed steel is used. Cold formed steel sections are widely used in many ways such as structural frames of vehicles, storage racks in warehouses and even in furniture. This paper is focused on the two different type of column beam connection to restrain the moment. A brief comparative studied is done using finite element analysis software ANSYS based on the analytical result load v/s deflection and moment rotation are studied to find out the most efficient connection. The results will help to study moment rotation capacity of the section.
