Axial Hysteretic Modeling of Cold-Formed Steel Members for Computationally Efficient Seismic Simulation
Analysis and design of cold-formed steel (CFS) structures subjected to seismic forces usually focuses on the behavior of systems such as strapped/sheathed shear walls. Experimental data from tests on these systems offers limited information concerning the seismic performance of the individual CFS components or other configurations of shear walls. Buckling and cross-sectional deformations (unique to thin-walled steel sections) highly influence the response under cyclic loading of CFS members and the associated systems. Therefore, accurate and computationally efficient hysteretic models are required to predict the seismic performance of individual CFS components and CFS buildings. Experimental data from twenty-four axial tests is utilized to calibrate a hysteretic model that represents the axial cyclic response of cold-formed steel C-section structural framing members. The model includes strength degradation, unloading stiffness degradation and pinching behavior of the observed experimental response. Model parameters and damage rules are calibrated for local, distortional and global buckling based on the hysteretic energy dissipated. The calibrated parameters can be utilized to develop a toolbox of nonlinear hysteretic springs to represent framing axial members in CFS structures for seismic analysis and facilitate performance based earthquake engineering of CFS structures.
