Behaviour Of Cold Formed Steel Column Under Axial Compression

Cold Formed Steel (CFS) sections are widely used in structural and non-structural elements. These sections are formed by bending of thin and thick sheets. Now a days CFS are mostly used due to easy handling versatility of profile shapes best suited for site erections increased in yield strength due to cold forming etc. This book deals with behavior of cold formed steel column sections with stiffened and unstiffened elements. The present investigation has carried out on distortion buckling strength of CFS column under axial loading.Numerical study were carried out using ANSYS software and the behavioral results were compared with experimental results.
