Abstract The paper develops a detailed finite-element model for the reliable nonlinear collapse analysis of built-up cold-formed steel columns with discrete fastener connections. First, the main components of the computational model are discussed, including their available options and comparison between their results, followed by a rational justification for the options chosen in this study. Specifically, a detailed theoretical background is provided with conclusive comparisons of the options for enforcing end support conditions, applying contact conditions between the constituent plates, selecting connection elements for representing intermediate screw fasteners, and finally, the incremental load stepping and nonlinear solution schemes. The accuracy and performance of the proposed FE modelling strategy are verified against the experimental data, contributing to the calibration of the influencing parameters. The predictions of the proposed methodology are shown to be in excellent agreement with the test data in terms of the failure mode and the inelastic capacity curve up to ultimate capacity and beyond. Upon its successful calibration, the FE model is utilised to perform extensive parametric studies into the effects of various design parameters on the ultimate strength of built-up columns. This includes practical variations of cross-section dimensions, sectional slenderness, built-up section geometry, and fastener spacing. The parametric study results suggest a meaningful dependency of the ultimate capacity of built-up sections on the fastener spacing ratio, the critical buckling half-wavelength of the built-up section and the relative number of restrained components in the built-up configuration undergoing sectional buckling.
Highlights Numerical study of built-up sections with more than two component sections. Influence on strength and failure mode of contact and connection modelling. Determination of relevant design parameters for built-up sections via parametric studies.
