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, a closed built-up channel section with and without lip are experimentally and theoretically studied. Finally the experimental results are compared with theoretical results. Here the cold formed sheet of size 1.2mx2.4m is taken. And by cutting and bending the sheet channel sections with flange 70mm and web 180mm is made. Then the channel section is jointed with plate on both sides by welding inorder to make a built-up section . The distance between two channel section is 30mm and the lip of size 20mm is provided. Then by using 1000kN loading frame machine the built-up section is tested and LVDT is used to measure the deflection. For theoretical calculation IS 801-1987 code of practice for use of cold formed light gauge steel structural members in general building construction is used.
