Tests and finite element analysis of pin-ended channel columns with inclined simple edge stiffeners
AbstractThis paper presents an experimental investigation and a finite element analysis on cold-formed channels with inclined simple edge stiffeners compressed between pinned ends. Compression tests of pin-ended channel columns with inclined simple edge stiffeners have not been performed till now. A total of 36 channel specimens including three different cross sections with different edge stiffener inclined angles and column lengths were tested. Detailed measurements of initial geometric imperfections and material properties of the specimens were also conducted before the above tests. Failure modes include local buckling, distortional buckling, flexural buckling and interaction among these buckling modes were observed in tests. The results indicate that inclined angle and loading position significantly affect the ultimate load-carrying capacity and failure mode of specimens. Moreover, a non-linear finite element model was developed and verified against tests. Geometric and material non-linearities were included in the model. Results from the finite element analysis agree well with experimentally ultimate loads and failure modes. However, it should be improved on prediction for certain displacement.
