Biaxial Bending of Cold Formed Z-Beams

摘要

This paper report the results of ten biaxial bending tests on unbraced simply211u001esupported cold-formed steel Z-beams loaded at mid-span in planes inclined to the 211u001emajor principal plane. These results and those of six beams loaded in the major 211u001eprincipal plane are compared with analytical predictions and with simple design 211u001eapproximations.
