Abstract
Twenty-six cold-formed channel sections were tested in four
point bending with the unstiffened flanges in compression. The
width/thickness ratio for the web varied from 18.8 to 188 and
the width/thickness ratio for the flange varied from 3 to 91.75.
Post-buckling theories were derived using yield line theory
considering both simply-supported and partially fixed
boundaries to predict ultimate moment capacity and resulting
midspan deflections. Good correspondence was observed
between theory and experiment. The use of the Mathcad
symbolic algebra package is described in the production of
moment-curvature relationships.
