| Abstract | This paper presents the flexural strength and behaviour of cold rolled channel and zed steel purlins with complex longitudinal web and flange stiffeners. The material properties at the section’s flat parts, corners, and stiffeners are obtained from tensile tests. A series of four-point beam bending tests is carried out to determine the buckling and ultimate bending capacities of these sections. Nonlinear Finite Element analysis (FEA) is developed to model the flexural strength of the purlins and validated against the experimental tests. True stress-strain data for materials due to cold working at different regions of the sections are incorporated into nonlinear analyses. Based on the validated FEA results for different sectional shapes and thicknesses, design formulae for determining flexural strength of purlin sections with complex stiffeners are developed. |
