Abstract
Cold-formed steel (CFS) sigma-shaped sections used as flooring joists and bearers are commonly fabricated with web holes to accommodate building services. These sections featuring web stiffeners and curved lips exhibit lower web-bearing resistance than traditional lipped channel sections. However, the web-bearing resistance of CFS sigma-shaped sections with web holes has not been thoroughly investigated. To address this gap, a detailed experimental investigation was conducted, testing 29 CFS sigma-shaped sections with web holes under an interior-two-flange (ITF) loading case. For comparison, specimens without web holes were also tested. Variables such as hole diameter ratio, hole location, bearing length, and flange condition were examined. A finite element (FE) model was developed and validated against the test results. The results indicated that the web-bearing resistance for specimens with web holes was reduced by 24.0 % on average. To assess the accuracy of existing design specifications, the test results were compared against the design strengths predicted by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) (2016), Australian and New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS) (2018), European Standard (EC3) (2006), and Uzzaman et al. (2012). The comparison revealed that the design strength predicted by Uzzaman et al. (2012) agreed well with the test results.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
