Local stability experimental and numerical study of non-standard thin-walled channel beams

Michał Grenda, Piotr Paczos
The subject of the paper is cold-formed, thin-walled non-standard channel beams with stiffened webs. The local elastic buckling and limit load of these beams subjected to pure bending are investigated. This study includes numerical, based on the Finite Element Method and the Finite Strip Method, calculations and actual tests of beams in laboratory. The presented results give a deep insight into behaviour of such beams and may be used to validate analytical models.
Keywords: thin-walled beams, experimental investigation, numerical investigations, pure bending,
