Distortional Failure and DSM Design of Cold-Formed Steel S-Shaped Beams Under Uniform Bending

Abstract This work reports a numerical investigation on the distortional buckling/post-buckling behaviors, ultimate strength and Direct Strength Method (DSM) design of cold-formed steel S-beams, commonly used in industrial rack systems. The analyzed beams are single-span, under uniform bending, exhi...
