Compression Members
Similar to the heavy hot‐rolled steel sections, thin‐walled cold‐formed steel compression members can be used to carry a compressive load applied through the centroid of the cross section. Cold‐formed sections are made of thin material, and in many shapes the shear center does not coincide with the centroid of the cross‐section. Therefore in the design of such compression members, consideration should be given to the following limit states depending on the configuration of the section, thickness of material, and column length used: yielding; overall column buckling (or global buckling); local buckling of individual compression elements interacting with the yielding or global buckling; and distortional buckling of open cross‐sections with edge‐stiffened flanges. This chapter discusses the column strengths for different failure modes. In steel design, lateral bracing is generally used to resist lateral loads, such as wind or earthquake loads, or to increase the strength of members by preventing them from deforming in their weakest direction.
