Plastic behaviour of strengthened cold-formed steel section

To date, the use of cold-formed steel on single storey industrial buildings particularly as structural element of a portal frame is restricted. Mostly, its application is as roof and wall framing, cladding, purlins and rails. Compared with hot-rolled steel, the use of cold-formed steel on a building...

description To date, the use of cold-formed steel on single storey industrial buildings particularly as structural element of a portal frame is restricted. Mostly, its application is as roof and wall framing, cladding, purlins and rails. Compared with hot-rolled steel, the use of cold-formed steel on a building has advantages such as light self-weight and corrosion-free problems, even though these are weaknesses to be overcome. The main problems are local buckling and low connection capacity. From the previous study, it was shown that cod-formed rectangular hollow portal frame using thick section indicated the plastic behaviour. This section is uneasy to be derived at site. Besides, some connection methods have also been suggested by previous researchers using bolts, rivets, press and weld but such the connections cannot reach rigid connection as needed for plastic design of portal frame.
