Abstract

Cold form steel structures are used for numerous purposes in construction industry. An attempt has been made in this study to check the flexural behaviour of cold form steel, closed builtup up channel section experimentally and analytically. Finally, the experimental results are compared with analytical results. This study aims at the following objective by test performed on cold formed steel section to check the flexural behaviour.Studies on the structural behaviour of cold-formed steel (CFS) beam are increasingly popular in the last decades. Instability phenomena, such a local buckling, distortional buckling, and lateral buckling and their interactions are the most interesting and complex subjects within this research field. Understanding and dealing with these phenomena has been central focus of research efforts. The behaviour of Load carrying capacity of Light gauge channel sections subjected to flexural Buckling is studied. It is noted that the load carrying capacity of built up sections are more than the normal sections. And the failure patterns of this section were extracted.A built up cold formed steel beam has been adopted for a span of 1.25m and it is verified with finite element analysis using ABAQUS software. Comparison between the theoretical and experimental results is presented and the agreements obtained are reasonably good
