Abstract

Structural steel members are extensively used in structures such as bridges, roof trusses, transmission line towers, multi storied buildings etc. It gives high strength to weight ratio, resulting in the reduction of dead weight. The paper presents the experimental investigations of cold formed steel angle sections. Specimens were fabricated 1.5mm thickness in cold formed steel angle plain sections and cold formed steel angle lipped sections. In which 36 specimens were carried out on tension members fastened with bolts, to calculate the ultimate strength, yield strength and breaking strength on cold-formed steel angle sections using Universal Testing machine.
