This study analyzed the flexural buckling behavior of light-gauge built-up compression members joined by self-drilling screws by using the energy method. A nonconventional mechanical model that simulates the flexural buckling behavior of a built-up member was proposed, and the contradictions of Bleich's model were described. A simple design formula...

This paper presents a cross-sectional optimization procedure to increase the load carrying capacity of a perforated rack column under a compression load. The optimization method is based on a Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with the Generalized Beam Theory (GBT), which allows to take perforations as well as sectional deformations into account. The...

The objective of the study is to determine the flexural behavior of the built-up cold-formed steel (CFS) channel section strengthened with an oriented strand board (OSB) in the three-point bending experiment. CFS with a variety of shapes and grades is classified as a steel-based material and exposed to buckling failure when subjected to compression...
