  1. Direct Strength Prediction of Cold-Formed Steel Beam-Columns Y. Shifferaw, B.W. Schafer Report to AISI February 2012

  2. Current Progress

  3. Prelim. Formulation (dist. 1 of 2) g

  4. Prelim. Formulation (dist. 2 of 2)

  5. Modeling • Nonlinear shell FE models of imperfect CFS member • End displacements over desired P, Mx, My • Boundary conditions and lengths to isolate local and distortional buckling • Preliminary models completed with success

  6. P-Mmajor, distortional, C section

  7. P-Mminor, distortional, C section

  8. Potential! Local DSM vs minor axis strength bounds for C
