摘要: A LiteSteel beam (LSB) is a new cold-formed steel hollow flange channel produced by using patented manufacturing process involving simultaneous cold-forming and dual electric resistance welding. It has the beneficial characteristics of torsionally rigid closed rectangular flanges combined with economical fabrication processes from single strip high-strength steel. Although LSB sections are commonly used as flexural members, no research been conducted on shear behavior LSBs. Therefore, experimental numerical studies were to investigate strength In this research, finite-element models LSBs developed their nonlinear behavior, including buckling ultimate strength. They validated comparing results available results. The provided full details showed presence considerab...
