Abstract

This study aims to experimentally investigate the buckling behavior and load-bearing capacities of cold-formed steel (CFS) omega-section columns under axial load. Within the scope of the research, 11 omega column specimens with thicknesses ranging from 1.75 mm to 3 mm were integrated with corrugated silo wall sheets of various thicknesses and subjected to axial compression tests. The experiments were designed to analyze the effects of lateral restraint conditions and column thickness on load-bearing capacity, post-elastic behavior, and failure modes. The findings fill a significant gap in literature by demonstrating the interactive performance of omega sections with secondary elements like silo walls. This study provides critical data for the design of these thin-walled members in modern construction applications.

Design of Stainless Steel Homogeneous and Hybrid I-Sections Exhibiting Strong Flange Behavior

Stainless steel built-up I-profile are frequently designed with webs significantly more slender than their flanges and greater material strength in the flanges in case of hybrid sections. Given the fundamental load case of pure compression or bending, the compressed flange can develop significant postlocal-buckling...

Load-Deformation Behaviour of Roof Truss System Made with Cold-Formed Steel Hollow Rectangular Section

The swift advancement of modern construction has established cold-formed steel (CFS) as a prominent structural option owing to its high strength-to-weight ratio and lightweight properties. However, CFS in open sections such as channel and zee sections is heavily restricted by susceptibility to premature instabilities s...

Study on the axial compressive behavior of circular steel tube-confined concrete short columns

To study the axial compression performance of steel tube-confined concrete, nine short column specimens were designed for axial compression testing. The parameters are the diameter-to-thickness ratio of steel tubes and the contact treatment method at the steel-concrete interface. The failure mode, load-displacement cur...
