Finite Element Analysis of Cold Formed Steel Channel Columns with Complex Edge Stiffeners and Web Holes using Abaqus

Abstract

The present theory work means to think about the numerical examination on models of channel segment with middle and complex edge stiffeners and web gaps under pivotal pressure. A wide scope of parameters, for example, slimness proportion, spine width and thickness have been considered in the investigation. An aggregate of 12 channel models with various parameters, for example, length, thickness and rib width are reenacted. The limited component non-direct examination program ABAQUS V6.14-2 is utilized to reproduce the models. The material properties are acquired from Coupon test. Component type utilized in this non-straight examination is SHELL. A Static, Riks step is utilized to complete examination. The Failure modes, extreme burden and the pressure conveyance around web gaps are inquired about. The relocation parts in every augmentation of burden along X, Y and Z bearings and Rotation segment about X course are gathered. The Von-Mises pressure forms, Deformed shapes and disappointment modes including nearby, horizontal distortional and parallel torsional clasping modes are acquired. The pivotal burden limits of pressure individuals with various parameters are looked at.
