Enhancing Flexural Capacity of Cold-Formed Steel Beams with an Innovative Delta-Channel Section: Experiments and Validated FE Modeling
Cold-formed steel (CFS) lipped channels are widely used in lightweight construction, yet their open, thin-walled geometry makes them highly vulnerable to torsion-driven instability and premature buckling under bending. To address this limitation, this study introduces an innovative riveted Delta-Channel concept that pa...
