1 AIM OF THE PUBLICATION


This design guide is aimed at practitioners in the building industry who
may have limited experience of the structural design of light steel framing
using cold formed steel sections. The publication presents an overview of the
design principles for cold formed steel sections in accordance with
[1]
BS 5950-5:1998 (revised from the 1985 version). Cold formed steel sections
are generally produced by cold rolling from galvanized steel strip.
Most structural engineers are familiar with the application of cold formed steel
sections (also known as cold rolled sections) in purlins and side-rails, which are
highly engineered products for specific applications. The general use of cold
formed sections as primary members of light steel framing requires a more
simplified design process appropriate to their applications as beams, floor joists,
columns, stud walling, members of roof trusses and sub-frames.
A wide range of uses of cold formed sections and light steel framing has been
realised in recent years, and common applications are in:
C

housing

medium-rise apartment buildings

mezzanine floors

roof trusses, including over-roofing in renovation projects

sub-frames for cladding, including over-cladding in renovation projects

framework of modular units

separating and infill walls

canopies.

This design guide concentrates on the general use of cold formed steel sections
in these structural applications. The information is presented under three broad
headings:
1. An introduction to the design of cold formed sections. It is appreciated that
the design of these sections may appear to be more complicated than that
of hot rolled sections. It is therefore important to understand the design
principles and also the practical considerations of the structural use of these
sections.
2. A review of the application of cold formed sections in buildings,
concentrating on the main design features and details. This also necessitates
a discussion on methods of cutting, joining and attachment of other
members and materials, which are fundamental to the practical use of these
thinner sections.
3. A series of tables on section properties and loads for the range of cold
formed sections that are readily available for general building use. The
section properties have been calculated based on first principles, in
accordance with BS 5950-5. The load tables (also determined in
accordance with BS 5950-5) can be used to obtain the required member
sizes for specific applications.

1.1

Design tables

Section properties are presented for the gross and the effective sections on the
yellow pages (i.e. as influenced by local buckling under compression). These
properties may be used by structural engineers when designing members for
general application. Alternatively, designers may refer to the load-span tables
for beams or load-height tables for columns, which give the member resistances
directly (see pink pages and green pages for grades S280 and S350,
respectively).
The tables in this design guide may be used for general application of generic
C and Z sections as floors and walls. Manufacturers often design their sections
for specific uses, such as purlins, and establish the member performance based
on test data rather than calculations to BS 5950-5. This means that
manufacturers data may be more beneficial in certain cases.
Member resistance tables (in terms of working load capacity) are presented for
generic C or Z sections only. These load tables are useful for selection of
member sizes and are intended to be used for initial or scheme design.
However, for final design, the data provided by the manufacturer of the selected
sections should be used.
Manufacturers should be contacted directly with regard to availability, cutting
to length, hole punching, etc. A list of UK manufacturers and further sources
of information are presented in Appendix A.

1.2

Limit state design


[1]

In BS 5950-5 , the loads to be used in design are calculated from the working
loads multiplied by factors of 1.6 for imposed load and 1.4 for dead loads
(including self weight). These factored loads are used to determine the
moments and forces in the members, which are then compared to the resistance
of the members. Resistances may be as determined for all relevant modes of
failure, such as buckling, connection or local failure etc. The methods of
determining the member resistance and load bearing capacity of cold formed
sections are presented in Section 3.
Additional checks on deflections are made for working loads (i.e. for load
factors of 1.0) in order to ensure adequate performance in service. Light weight
floors should also be checked for their vibration response to normal activities
(see Section 6.1).
The methods in BS 5950 are not based on working load or permissible stress
design, although a global factor of safety of 1.6 may be used conservatively to
determine maximum working loads that the structure can support.
The load capacity tables are presented in terms of working loads.

2 INTRODUCTION TO USE OF COLD


FORMED SECTIONS
2.1

Materials

Sheet steel used in cold formed sections is typically 0.9 to 3.2 mm thick
(although thinner steels are used in roofing and decking applications). It is
usually supplied pre-galvanized in accordance with European Standard
[2]
EN 10147 (issued by BSI in 1991 as BS EN 10147 as a replacement for
[3]
BS 2989 ). Galvanizing gives adequate protection for internal members,
including those adjacent to the boundaries of building envelopes, such as
purlins. The expected design life of galvanized products in this environment
exceeds 60 years (see Section 2.3).
Steel strip is produced by cold reducing hot rolled coil steel with further
annealing processes to improve the ductility of the material. It is a quality
controlled product with known and easily tested properties. Grade S280 steel
(formerly Z28) is a quality of steel specified as having a guaranteed minimum
2
yield strength of 280 N/mm . Grades S280 and S350 steels are the most
commonly specified grades, although it is often found that the actual yield
strength is considerably higher than the specified minimum. Steel with a
non-guaranteed yield strength may be used in some applications, provided that
the strength of the material is determined by tensile tests taken from the coil
from which the material was cut.

Stress

During cold forming of a section, the increase in yield strength of the steel
increases, due to cold working by the process of strain hardening, as
illustrated in Figure 2.1. The increase in yield strength by cold working may be
significant (> 10%) for highly stiffened sections with many bends. Strictly, the
yield point is not a clearly defined transition point, as it is for hot rolled steels.
The proof strength (at 0.2% strain) is often used as an effective yield value.

P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

Ductility is defined on the basis of minimum elongation at fracture over a


certain gauge length. This is specified for S280 steel as a minimum of 20%
(2)
elongation for a gauge length of 50 mm . Ductility reduces with cold working.
Cold working also has the effect of reducing the ratio of the ultimate to the yield
strength of the material.

2.2

Methods of forming

Manufacturers purchase strip steel in coils, normally of 1 m to 1.25 m width.


The sheets are then cut (slit) longitudinally to the correct width for the section
being produced and then fed into a series of roll formers. These rolls are set in
pairs moving in an opposite direction so that the sheet is drawn through and its
shape is gradually modified along the line of rolls. The number of rolls needed
to form the finished shape depends on the complexity of the section. The
overall length of the roll forming machinery can be over 30 m (see Figure 2.2).
Setting-up costs are high if special rolls are needed. Adjustable rolls are often
used, which permit a rapid change of section depth or width. Roll forming is
therefore most economic where large quantities of the same section are
produced at one time. The lengths of the members can be pre-programmed and
cut accurately. Holes for attachments and services can also be punched either
before or after forming.
An alternative method of cold forming is by press-braking. This is normally
only practicable for short lengths (up to 6 m, depending on the size of the
machine used) and for relatively simple shapes. This method can be
advantageous for small production runs, because of its lower setting-up costs.

2.3

Methods of protection

Hot dip galvanizing (zinc coating) of preformed strip steel offers protection by
sacrificial loss of the zinc surface which occurs preferentially to corrosion of the
steel. Guidance on thickness of galvanizing is given in Galvatite Technical
[4]
Manual . The specified sheet thickness includes galvanizing. A zinc coating
2
of 275 g/m (total on both faces) is the standard (G275) specification for internal
environments, and corresponds to a total zinc thickness of about 0.04 mm.
G100 to G600 coatings can also be obtained but these are generally
non-standard. The thicker coatings are used in applications where moisture
may be present over a long period. Zinc coatings can also be applied by hot
dipping of the sections after manufacture.
Galvanized steel has good durability because, unlike paint, scratches do not
initiate local corrosion of the steel. Similarly, cut ends do not corrode, except
where the rate of zinc loss on the adjacent surfaces is high. In some
applications it may be necessary to apply zinc-rich paint to the exposed steel.
[5]
White rust or wet storage stains may occur if galvanized sections are stored
in bundles in moist conditions, but this does not normally affect their long term
performance. Correct storage of bundles of sheets or sections is therefore
important.
A recent SCI publication Durability of light steel framing in residential
[6]
building shows that the design life of galvanized steel in warm frame
applications is at least 200 years, provided that the external envelope is
properly maintained.
Zinc-aluminium coatings also have high corrosion resistance and are sometimes
used in sheeting applications, but rarely on sections. Organic coatings are not
used for sections. Powder paint coatings, in addition to galvanizing, are often
used for specialist products such as lintels.

2.4

Common shapes of sections

Cold formed sections are used in many industries and are often specially shaped
to suit particular applications. In building applications, the most common
sections are the C and the Z sections. There are a wide range of variants of
these basic shapes, including those with edge lips, internal stiffeners and bends
in the webs.
Other sections are the top-hat section and the modified I section. The
common range of cold formed sections that are marketed is illustrated in
Figure 2.3. The sections can also be joined together back to back or toe to toe
to form compound sections.
The reason for edge lips and internal stiffeners is because unstiffened wide and
thin plates are not able to resist significant compression, and consequently the
sections are structurally inefficient. However, a highly stiffened section is less
easy to form and is often less practicable from the point of view of connection
to other members. Therefore, a compromise between structural efficiency and
practicability is often necessary.

Examples of cold formed steel sections

Common applications

Cold formed steel sections are used widely in building applications. Decking
is also used in composite floors, and in flat roofs. Roof and wall sheeting are
well established and are generally sold as colour-coated products with various
forms of organic surface coatings.
The main advantages of using cold formed sections are:
C

high load resistance for a given section depth

long span capability (up to 10 m)

dimensional accuracy

long term durability in internal environments

freedom from long term creep and shrinkage

capability to be formed to a particular shape for specific applications

P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

lightness, which is particularly important for buildings in poor ground


conditions

no wet trades, as a dry envelope is quickly achieved using light steel


framing

ease of construction, as members are delivered to site cut to length and with
pre-punched holes, requiring no further fabrication

ability to be prefabricated into sub-frames as wall panels etc;

robustness, but sufficiently light for site handling

connections are strong and easily made in factory or on site.

Examples of the structural use of cold formed sections are as follows:


Roof and wall members
A major use of cold formed steel in the UK is as purlins and side rails to support
the cladding in industrial-type buildings (see Figure 2.4). Purlins are generally
based on the Z section (and its variants), which facilitates incorporation of
sleeves and overlaps to improve the structural efficiency of the members in
multi-span applications.

Figure 2.4

Cold formed sections used as roof purlins

Light steel framing


An increasing market for cold formed steel sections is in site-assembled frames
and panels for walls and roofs, and for stand-alone buildings. This approach
has been used in a wide range of light industrial and commercial buildings and
also in mezzanine floors of existing buildings (see Figure 2.5).
Housing
In modern house construction, storey-high wall panels are factory-built and
assembled on site by platform construction. The panels are sufficiently light
to be handled on site. External insulation is used in order to create a warm
frame. Brickwork is attached by wall ties in vertical tracks fixed through the
insulation to the wall studs. Four light steel framing systems are available in the
P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

housing sector in the UK. A major series of load tests has been carried out to
establish the global action of light steel frames to vertical and horizontal loads
(see Figure 2.6).

18 April 2002

Lintels
A significant market for cold-formed sections is for specially shaped steel lintels
used over doors and windows inlow-rise masonry walls. These products are
often powder-coated for extra corrosion protection in cavity conditions.
Floor joists
Cold formed sections may be used as an alternative to timber joists in floors of
modest span in domestic and small commercial buildings. Spans of up to 5 m
can be readily achieved for C or sigma-shaped sections. Lattice joists may be
used for longer spanning applications.
Systems for commercial buildings
A prefabricated panel system using cold formed sections and lattice joists has
been developed for use in buildings up to 4 storeys height (see Figure 2.7).
Although primarily developed for commercial buildings, this system has wide
application in such as educational and apartment buildings.
Roof trusses
Roof trusses may be manufactured using cold formed sections for both new
construction and renovation projects. They may be of the traditional Fink or
Pratt truss form, or alternatively, they may be designed as open roof trusses
for habitable use. Over-roofing of existing flat roofs is also a large market for
[7]
long span trusses (see Figure 2.8).
Separating walls and partitions
Separating walls in framed buildings may be designed using C sections and
multiple layers of plasterboard to provide a high level of acoustic insulation and
fire resistance.
Space trusses
A three-dimensional space truss based on a 3 m square module using cold
formed C sections is marketed in the UK by Spacedecks Ltd..
Infill walling and over-cladding
A modern application of cold formed sections is in infill walls to support
cladding to multi-storey steel buildings, and as mullions and transoms in
standard glazing systems. Over-cladding systems have been developed for use
[8]
in building renovation .
Prefabricated modular buildings
Prefabricated modular units are a new application of the use of cold formed
sections. The units are manufactured and fitted-out in factory-controlled
conditions. When installed on site with their services and cladding, the units
form whole or part buildings with a high level of acoustic insulation and
[9]
structural integrity . They are also designed structurally for the stresses
imposed during lifting and transportation. Other applications are as

Steel folded plates, barrel vaults and truncated pyramid roofs are examples of
systems that have been developed as so-called frameless buildings (i.e. those
without beams and which rely partly on stressed skin action).
Storage racking
Storage racking systems for use in warehouses and industrial buildings are made
from cold formed steel sections. Most have special clip attachments, or bolted
joints engineered for easy assembly, as shown in Figure 2.9.

Composite decking
A major structural use of strip steel is in composite decking in floors which are
designed to act compositely with the in-situ concrete placed on it. Composite
decking is usually designed to be unpropped during construction, and typical
spans are 3 to 3.6 m. This application, which is illustrated in Figure 2.10, is
[10] [11]
well covered in other publications
. More recently, deep decking has been
developed to achieve spans of 5 to 9 m in Slimdeck construction.

Applications in general civil engineering include:


C

Lighting and transmission towers


These towers are often made from thin tubular or angle sections that may be
cold formed.

Motorway crash barriers


These relatively thin steel members are primarily designed for strength, but
also have properties of energy absorbtion under impact by permitting gross
deformation.

Silos for agricultural use


Silo walls are often stiffened and supported by cold formed steel sections.

Culverts
Curved profiled sheets are often used as culverts and storm pipes.

Other major non-structural applications in building include such diverse uses


as garage doors, and ducting for heating and ventilating systems.

2.6

Fire protection

Fire protection to cold formed sections in planar floors or walls is usually


provided by special fire-resistant gypsum plasterboards placed in one or two
layers to form the finished surface. Fire resistance periods of 30 or 60 minutes
can be achieved by this simple method of protection provided joints between
the boards are staggered.
Longer members such as beams and columns can also be boxed-out using
standard board protection, as in Figure 2.11. However, the required thickness
of fire protection is usually greater than that for hot rolled sections because the
[12]
thinner steel elements heat up more rapidly .

3 INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN OF COLD


FORMED SECTIONS
The main difference between the behaviour of cold formed sections and hot
rolled steel sections is that thin plate elements tend to buckle locally under
compression. Cold formed cross-sections are therefore usually classified as
slender because they cannot generally reach their full compression resistance
based on the amount of material in the cross-section. Therefore, effective
section properties should be used in structural calculations.
The benefits of cold forming on material properties may be taken into account.
A design formula for the increase in average yield strength is presented in
BS 5950-5, Clause 3.4, and this increase in strength is typically 3 to 10%,
depending on the number of bends in the section. For S280 and S350 steel
grades, the design strength of the steel, py is taken as the yield strength, Ys as
modified by Clause 3.4.

3.1

Behaviour of thin plates in compression

3.1.1 Elastic buckling


The full compression resistance of a perfectly flat plate supported on two
longitudinal edges can be developed for a width-to-thickness ratio of about 40.
At greater widths, buckles form elastically causing a loss in the overall
compressive resistance of the plate. This is due to the inability of the more
flexible central portion to resist as much compression as the outer portions
which are partly stabilised by the edge supports.
The critical compression stress at which elastic buckling of the plate occurs is
given by the expression:
pcr =
.

b

185 103 5 (t/b) N/mm

(1)

where:
b is the plate width, and
t is the steel thickness.
The term 5, referred to as the buckling coefficient, represents the influence of
the boundary conditions and the stress pattern on plate buckling. Normally,
plates are considered to be infinitely long but have various support conditions
along their longitudinal edges. The two common cases are, firstly, simple
supports along both edges, and, secondly, one simple support and the other free
edge. In the first case 5 is 4, whereas in the second, 5 reduces dramatically to
0.425. This indicates that plates with free edges do not perform well under
local buckling. These cases are illustrated in Figure 3.1.

The value of 5 may be enhanced considerably when the rotational stiffness


provided by the adjacent plates is included, or, alternatively, when the loading
conditions do not result in uniform compression. Different cases for sections
in bending and pure compression are given in Appendix B of BS 5950-5.

3.1.2 Post-critical behaviour


Plate elements are not perfectly flat, and therefore begin to deform out-of-plane
gradually with increasing load, rather than buckle instantaneously at the critical
buckling stress. This means that the non-uniform stress state exists throughout
the loading regime, and tends to cause the plate element to fail at loads less
than the critical buckling value. This is a dominant effect in the b/t range from
30 to 60 (for plates simply supported on both edges).
However, there are opposing effects for plate elements with higher b/t ratios.
Firstly, membrane or in-plane tensions are generated which resist further
buckling, and secondly, the zone of compression yielding extends from the
longitudinal supports to encompass a greater width of the plate elements. These
post-critical effects cause an increase in the load-carrying capacity of wide plate
elements (b/t > 60) relative to that given by Equation (1).
The parameter which is used to express the behaviour of plate elements in
compression is the effective width. This is the notional width which is
assumed to act at the yield strength of the steel. The remaining portion of the
plate element is assumed not to contribute to the compression resistance, as
illustrated in Figure 3.2.

The effective width concept can be modified to take the above factors into
account. A semi-empirical formula for the effective width, beff, of a plate
element under compression is presented in BS 5950-5, Clause 4.3, as follows:

Where, fc is the compressive stress in the plate element, and pcr is the critical
buckling stress of the plate element, as defined previously. fc is limited to a
value of Ys , which is the design strength of the steel.
The relationship given by Equation (2) is plotted in Figure 3.3. Also shown in
this figure is the equivalent elastic buckling curve determined from Equation (1)
[13] [14]
and the corresponding AISI (American) requirements
.
The full
compression resistance of a real (slightly non-flat) plate element supported on
two longitudinal edges can be developed at a b/t ratio of less than
approximately 30, and this therefore represents the most efficient spacing
between stiffeners or folds in a cross-section. Values of effective width for plate
elements of increasing b/t ratios are presented in Table 3.1 (taken from
BS 5950-5).

3.1.3 Influence of stiffeners


There are two types of stiffeners: those at the edge of a plate element, and those
internally within a plate element. They are known respectively as edge and
intermediate stiffeners, in the form of lips and folds, as illustrated in Figure 3.4.
A rule of thumb is that edge stiffeners comprising a simple lip or right angle
bend should not be less in depth than one-fifth of the width of adjacent plate
element, if they are to be fully effective in providing longitudinal support.

NOTE: These effective widths are based on the limit state of strength for steel with Ys = 280 N/mm and
having a buckling coefficient K = 4. For steels with other values of Ys or sections having K 4, see
Clause 4.4.1 of BS 5950-5.

A simple formula for the minimum size of stiffener is given in BS 5950-5. If the
stiffener is adequate, the plate element may then be treated as simply supported
along both longitudinal edges, with a 5 value of 4. In BS 5950-5, edge
stiffeners failing to meet this limit are considered to be ineffective and are
disregarded, leading to much reduced effective section properties.

Types of element and stiffeners

Intermediate stiffeners are intended to reduce the flat width of the plate
elements so that the section operates more effectively. They usually comprise
folds in the section. Again, a simple formula for the minimum size of stiffener
is given in BS 5950-5, Clause 4.7.1. Because these stiffeners stabilise two
adjacent plate elements, they have to be relatively robust (i.e. stiff). Typically,
a V shaped fold of height not less than one-fifth of the width of the adjacent
plate element on one side of the stiffener will generally offer effective support.
Thus, for a compression flange of 150 mm width, a single intermediate fold of
15 mm depth should be satisfactory.
An additional problem with intermediate stiffeners is that the stiffened
compression plate element tends to buckle towards the neutral axis of the
section in bending (a phenomenon known as flange curling). This means that
the effectiveness of very wide compression elements with multi-stiffeners is
reduced due to this deformation. Account is taken of this effect in BS 5950-5,
Clauses 4.7.2 and 4.7.3.

3.2

Behaviour of webs

Webs of cross-sections are subject to shear, bending and local compression at


their supports. It is often found that these local effects dominate the design of
cold formed sections. In purlin design, for example, the sections are supported
by cleats attached to the webs rather than sitting directly on the supports which
may reduce their effectiveness.

3.2.1 Web shear


Slender webs normally fail in shear by shear buckling. The buckling coefficient
5 in Equation (1) for a simply supported plate in pure shear tends to a value of
5.35. This leads to a critical shear stress qcr given by BS 5950-5, Clause 5.4.3
as:
qcr =

106

t
D

N/mm 2

P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

(3)

17

18 April 2002

qcr is compared to the average shear stress acting across the full web depth.
Additionally, the average shear stress should not exceed 0.6 Ys representing the
limiting stress at which shear yielding occurs. In irregular sections, the
maximum shear stress should not exceed 0.7 Ys.

3.2.2 Web bending


Webs of sections in bending are subject to varying compressive stress, reducing
from a maximum at the junction with the flange to zero at the elastic neutral
axis position. Very deep webs can be influenced by local buckling in
compression. However, the varying stress in the web leads to a deeper plate
element before buckling than for a plate element under pure compression. This
is reflected in the theoretical value of the buckling coefficient 5 of 23.9 (rather
than 4).
The effective width concept is also used to determine the post-buckling bending
resistance of deep webs by considering two separate zones adjacent to the
neutral axis and to the compression flange. This behaviour is illustrated in
Figure 3.5(b).

In BS 5950-5, an alternative approach is used, whereby the maximum


compressive stress in the web is determined. This is given by the term po

3.2.3 Web crushing


Local failure at supports, or at locations of point loads, can occur as shown in
Figure 3.6. This reduces the load-carrying resistance of the member. It is taken
into account by an empirical formula representing the web crushing load.

Web crushing at a support

This effect is largely a function of the width of the support, the thickness of the
steel, and the height/thickness ratio of the section. The crushing load Pw (in kN)
of a single vertical web with stiffened flanges is given in BS 5950-5, Clause 5.3,
as:
Pw = t2 k (1.33 ! 0.33 k)(1.15 ! 0.15 r/t)(2060 ! 3.8 D/t) (1 + 0.01 N/t) x 10!3

18 April 2002

Equation (4) applies where the reaction (or point load) is applied close to the
end of the member and where the web is free to move laterally. The equivalent
value for an internal support reaction or point load is approximately 50% higher
than that given by this equation.
It follows that the support reaction or point load should not exceed the web
crushing resistance. This can be best achieved by increasing the width of the
supports or the thickness of the steel section. Enhanced capacities are given for
double C sections with back to back webs, or webs with both flanges held in
[1]
position (see Table 8 of BS 5950-5 ).
Interaction between co-existent bending and web crushing may be taken into
account using the relationship of the form indicated in Figure 3.7. This means
that the bending resistance of continuous members may be reduced at internal
supports, unless wet crushing is prevented by use of a stiffening element, e.g.
an angle cleat.

3.3.1 Moment resistance of section


The effective properties of sections in bending may be taken into account from
first principles by considering the effective widths of the compression elements,
as illustrated in Figure 3.5. The neutral axis of the section is determined by
balancing tension and compression. The section modulus is then calculated
knowing the elastic neutral axis position. The effective bending resistance is
obtained by multiplying the elastic section modulus by the design strength of
the steel. Both the neutral axis position and the section modulus are therefore
functions of the operating stress of the compression flange.
For symmetric sections, the effective section modulus of the compression plate
is not greater than that in tension and therefore compression yielding occurs

20

first. However, for some non-symmetric sections, tension yielding may occur
first causing plastification in the tension flange. This local yielding, as
illustrated in Figure 3.5(d) is permitted, provided the compression plate does not
yield.

3.3.2 Influence of section shape


Z-shaped sections displace laterally when loaded through their webs, because
the principal axis of bending is at an angle to the vertical axis through the web.
These sections are normally used as roof purlins, so that the orientation of the
principal axis counteracts that of the roof slope, as in Figure 3.8(a). Some
sections are specially formed to reduce the angular difference between the
principal and vertical axes to about 5E. Fixing to rigid flooring or deep sheeting
also assists in preventing lateral displacement.

b) C sections

Behaviour of different sections under bending

C sections twist when loaded through their webs because the shear centre of the
section is located outside the web (see Figure 3.8(b)). This is alleviated by
placing two sections back to back, or by providing lateral restraints to both
flanges. Fixing to rigid flooring also reduces twisting, depending on the location
and spacing of the fixings. The shape of C sections can be modified to a zeta
shape to bring the shear centre closer to the web.
Non-symmetric sections, as shown in Figure 3.5(d), may displace laterally under
major axis bending. These transverse bending stresses should be considered in
addition to primary bending stresses unless lateral movement is prevented.

3.3.3 Continuous members


For simply-supported members, it is the sagging (positive) moment conditions
that determine the bending resistance of the member. For members that are
continuous over one or more internal supports, moments are determined
elastically (i.e. using moment distribution or other elastic methods). Plastic
hinge analysis is not permitted because the slender sections are not able to
maintain their full bending resistance when rotations exceed the point at which
the section reaches yield. There is, however, some residual bending resistance
at large rotations as shown in Figure 3.9.

Design on the basis of elastic analysis means that the conditions at the internal
supports of continuous members often dominate the overall design (see the
relationship between moment and web crushing in Figure 3.7). In some cases,
this can lead to the conclusion that simply-supported members are stronger than
continuous members! Some purlin systems utilise the flexibility of sleeved or
overlapping purlins at the supports in order to achieve some elastic
redistribution of moment, and hence to lead to more efficient design of the
members (see Section 4.1). In order to make an accurate prediction of the
amount of redistribution that will take place, it is necessary to know the
moment-rotation behaviour of the sleeved or overlapped section in hogging.
This should be determined by testing.

3.3.4 Lateral torsional buckling


The above approach assumes that the members are laterally restrained i.e. they
cannot fail by lateral buckling. This is the case where simply supported
members are attached to floors etc. so that the compression flange is prevented
from displacing sideways (or laterally).
Where the lateral restraints are sufficiently wide apart, lateral torsional buckling
may occur. This effect is illustrated in Figure 3.10. The elastic lateral buckling
resistance moment of an equal flange I-section or a symmetrical C section bent
in the plane of the web is given in Clause 5.6.2.2 by the formula:

Account may also be taken of the support conditions in modifying the effective

As the D/t ratio of these sections is very large, it follows that v tends to unity.
For a simply supported beam, its effective slenderness 8LT may be taken as 0.98
as a safe approximation. This reflects the beneficial effects of non-uniform stress
and torsional stiffness on lateral torsional buckling of the section in comparison
to a strut of slenderness 8.
The relationship between the modified slenderness ratio of the member and the
bending resistance, Mb of the section is shown in Figure 3.11. This is based on
the Perry-Robertson approach, as defined in BS 5950-5. The full bending
resistance of the section can only be reached when 8 is less than 40 Cb.

Design curves for cold formed sections used as beams

Similar formulae may be developed for singly symmetric sections such as


C sections. However, in this case, the shear centre of a C section does not
coincide with the plane of the web. Therefore loads applied through the web
cause twisting of the section (see Figure 3.8(b)). In principle, therefore, single
C sections should be restrained against torsion if they are to be used effectively.
If not, then in-plane warping stresses due to torsion are created which should
be added to bending stresses.
The hogging (negative) moment region of continuous members requires special
consideration, because it is usually more difficult to restrain the lower flange of
the section than the upper flange. It is often assumed that the point of zero
moment may be considered as a point of effective restraint, and that the part of
the beam in hogging may be treated as a member with a linear variation of
moment. If this gives a bending moment resistance less than the applied
moment, then additional lateral restraints are needed. It should be noted,
however, that treating the point of zero moment as a point of effective restraint
is only appropriate when adequate torsional restraint is provided at the support
(see Clause 5.5.5. of BS 5950-1:2000). In purlin design, sag bars are generally
used to provide restraint to the lower flange in wind uplift conditions.

Behaviour of members in compression

3.4.1 Members in pure compression


Members in compression are typically columns loaded by beams, or struts in
trusses. Columns are usually only laterally restrained at the beam-column
connections, unless they are built into a wall. The design of axially loaded
sections may be treated as a series of plates in compression. This leads to an
effective area of the cross-section when the effective widths of all the
compressive plate elements are combined, as shown in Figure 3.12. This ratio
of the effective to the gross area of the section is known as the Q factor and
it represents the efficiency of the section under axial compression.
Therefore, the compressive resistance of the section is:
PCS

Q A Ys

(9)

where A is the gross (unreduced) cross-sectional area of the column section.


Columns generally fail by buckling rather than pure compression, as shown in
Figure 3.13. Perfectly straight columns buckle elastically at an Euler load
given by:

PE =

B2 E Iy
2

B2

LE

EA

(10)

82

where 8 is the slenderness of the member between points of lateral restraints


(see Section 3.3.4), which is the effective length Le divided by the radius of
gyration.
The modified slenderness ratio, &
8 is defined as 8/8y, where 8y = B E/Y s in
which 8y corresponds to the slenderness of the equivalent perfect strut when
acting at the yield strength, Ys.

Real columns are not perfectly straight; they fail before the Euler buckling load
is reached. This is taken into account by a Perry-Robertson type formula which
has a solution of the form:
Pc '

P E Pcs

(11)

N% N &PE Pcs
where N =

Pcs % (1 % 0) PE

,
Pc is the axial buckling resistance of the
2
column and 0 is an empirical factor accounting for the initial imperfection of the
column, given in Clause 6.2.3 of by 0 = 0.002 (8-20). (Therefore, Pc = Pcs when
8 # 20).
The variation of load ratio (Pc/Pcs) with slenderness ratio 8 is presented in
Figure 3.14.

3.4.2 Singly symmetric sections


In sections which are not doubly symmetric about both axes (see Figure 3.12),
the centroid of the effective section (B) may be at a different location to the
centroid of the gross section (A) through which axial forces are assumed to act.
This gives rise to combined bending and compression, which is taken into
account by a modified value of PcN such that:
PcN =

Mc Pc / (Mc + Pc es )

(12)

where Mc is the pure bending resistance of the section, and es is the eccentricity
of the applied load caused by the shift of neutral axis from the gross section to
the effective section (see, Clause 6.2.4).

3.4.3 Combined bending and axial loading


The interaction between bending and axial load may be taken into account by
the following relationship for members which fail by lateral buckling:

where Fc is the axial load applied to the column, and Mx and My are the applied
moments in the x and y (major and minor axis) directions (see clause 6.4.3).
Mcx and Mcy are the design bending resistance based on an independent analysis
in the x and y directions. Cb takes into account the variation of moment along
the member (see Equation 6). Pc is determined for an axially loaded member,
as above, and PEY is the compression resistance for buckling in the y direction
(from Equation 9).
This equation takes into account the potentially weakening effects of the
combinations of different buckling modes.

3.4.4 Torsional flexural buckling


Thin open cross-sections are torsionally weak and may be more susceptible to
torsional failure than lateral buckling failure when loaded axially (as illustrated
in Figure 3.13). This is especially so for singly symmetric sections, such as
C sections, because of the separation of the centroid and shear centre
(representing the point about which the member twists).
Analysis for torsional flexural buckling is quite complicated and the approach
in BS 5950-5 is to modify the effective length for lateral buckling to take into
account the possibility of a lower torsional flexural failure mode. This is
achieved by the use of the effective length multiplication factor, ". Appropriate
" values for a range of common sections are presented in Appendix C of
(1)
BS 5950-5 .

Serviceability limits

3.5.1 Natural frequency


The natural frequency of light steel flooring systems should be calculated in
order to avoid perceptible vibrations.
According to current SCI
recommendations, the natural frequency of these floors should exceed 8 Hz
when calculated for a load equal to the self weight plus a permanent load of 0.3
2
kN/m . This is equivalent to a static deflection of 5 mm under the same load.
Assuming that the permanent load is approximately 33% of the total service
load, it follows that the maximum deflection under total design loading should
not exceed 15 mm. This deflection limit is equivalent to that for timber
construction.
The natural frequency limit often controls for floor spans greater than 5 m.

3.5.2 Deflection limits


Deflection limits are introduced for floors in order that there is no serious risk
of cracking of partitions or other components supported by these floors, or
perceptible movement. Traditionally, an upper deflection limit of span/360 is
used for floors subject to imposed load, reducing to span/250 when subject to
total loads. However, these limits may be too relaxed for light steel floors,
particularly in relation to control of vibrations (see above). Because of this, it is
proposed that the limit on imposed load deflections should be reduced to
span/450, and the limit on total deflection should be reduced to span/350 (but
not exceeding 15 mm, as required for control of vibrations).
Stricter limits are required for edge beams supporting cladding. For brickwork,
total deflection limit of span/500 is often used.

4 APPLICATION OF COLD FORMED


SECTIONS IN BUILDING
The following Sections describe typical uses and potential applications of cold
formed steel sections in buildings. A common use of these sections is in purlins
and side rails in industrial buildings, but there are many new developments of
cold formed sections as primary structural members in housing, light industrial
and commercial buildings.

4.1

Purlins and side rails

Purlins are usually of Z shape, the argument being that the principal axis of
bending of the section is close to vertical when the section is orientated so that
the upper flange points up the roof for roof slopes of 10 to 15E, as shown in
Figure 3.8(a). This means that vertical roof loads do not cause serious twisting
of the sections. However, roof slopes in modern industrial buildings can be as
low as 5E, and this has created the need for modified section shapes. The
so-called Zeta section (see Figure 2.3) is one attempt to provide a section
shape more suitable for shallow roofs.
C shaped sections and their derivatives have also been developed for roof and
wall applications. The web shape can be modified to a sigma shape to reduce
the twisting of the section by bringing the shear centre of the section closer to
the web.
All purlins above a certain length are provided with sag rods which are intended
to prevent twisting during erection and to stabilise the lower flange against wind
uplift. The upper purlins are usually tied at ridge level.
Lateral forces on the members can usually be transferred by diaphragm or
stressed skin action of the roof sheeting. The upper flanges of the purlins are
considered to be laterally restrained by the sheeting.
The design of purlins has developed to an extent that empirical methods based
on testing are often the only economic solution. Purlins are usually designed to
be continuous in order to satisfy deflection limits. However, elastic design of
continuous members can be unduly onerous, when strictly interpreting the
requirements of BS 5950-5 (see Section 3.3.3).
This factor has been recognised by the purlin manufacturers and many
overlapped and sleeved systems at the supports have been developed. The
moment-rotation characteristics of these systems can be matched to the
performance of the purlin, leading to optimum design of the section. This
behaviour is illustrated in Figure 4.1. Overlapping systems provide better
hogging bending resistance then sleeved systems. Both provide double web
thickness, improving the shear resistance of the section at internal supports.
Shear forces are transferred to the supporting rafters by cleats bolted to the webs
of the purlins. The cleats are designed so that the lower flange of the purlin does
not bear directly on the rafter, and thus web crushing problems are avoided.
The shear or bearing strength of the connecting bolts provides the necessary load
transfer (see Section 4.10).

Side rails are designed in a similar manner and are used in walling applications.
Vertical loads are resisted by the use of sag rods or bracing members in the
plane of the wall.

Floor joists

Steel floor joists, usually of C section, may be used to replace timber joists in
housing and other masonry buildings. The joists may be built into walls or
supported on traditional joist hangers (see Figure 4.2). Thicker cold formed
sections may also be used to replace lighter hot rolled sections as secondary
beams in main frames.
Comparisons have been made of the design of cold formed sections with the
traditional alternatives. These comparisons have been characterised in terms of
four typical applications that may be encountered in domestic and commercial
buildings. The section sizes and weights resulting from these designs are
presented in Table 4.1. In practice, designs may be controlled by bending
resistance or stiffness requirements.
In terms of equivalent bending resistance, a series of 175 mm 37 mm timber
joists may be replaced by 100 mm 40 mm 1.2 mm thick C sections at the
same spacing. Other comparative performances may be taken from Table 4.2.
However, in practical applications, floor joists should also be designed for
relatively strict deflection and frequency limits which means that they are deeper
than for pure bending resistance (see Section 3.5).
The cold formed sections can also be manufactured with punched holes in their
webs to allow passage of small diameter pipes and other services. The depth of
these holes is normally less than half the member depth and has little effect on
structural performance. Provision of these holes for services overcomes the
problem of notching of timber joists. Attachment of the timber floor-boards
increases the stiffness of the light steel sections and provides lateral restraint if
fixed at regular intervals.

Stud walling

Stud walling using C sections of 50 to 100 mm depth is a common form of


partition construction in commercial buildings. It is much lighter than traditional
blockwork and is quicker and easier to construct. Importantly, it is a dry
construction and is easily removable..
Plasterboard or similar materials are attached by screws to the stud walling to
form the finished surfaces. This adds considerably to the stiffness of the walls.
An 80 mm thick stud wall can be used to replace a 100 mm or 120 mm
blockwork wall. A tall wall constructed using C section studs is illustrated in
Figure 4.3. These walls may be assembled on site or pre-fabricated as storeyhigh panels.
Separating walls between compartments and between apartments are designed
to achieve a high level of acoustic insulation and fire resistance. This is achieved
by using multiple layers of fire-resistant plasterboard attached by resilient bars
to the studs, with insulation and quilt placed between the studs.
P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

18 April 2002

An airborne sound reduction of over 53 dB and 60 minutes fire resistance can be


easily achieved by this form of construction. Improved acoustic insulation can
be achieved by using double stud walls (usually the case in party walls, and in
special applications, such as cinemas).

Figure 4.3

4.4

Tall wall constructed using C section studs

Trusses

Purpose-made steel trusses have been marketed for many years. As shown in
Figure 2.7, they comprise cold formed sections as flanges with bent bars or tubes
forming the bracing elements welded to the flanges. These can be designed to
span typically 5 m to 20 m (and up to 30 m in special applications) and can be
used as roof or floor joists.
Roof trusses for housing are rather different in shape, as the roof pitch is
commonly in the range of 20 to 45E. The traditional timber truss is of the Fink
truss form and the truss spacing is compatible with the size of tile battens
normally used. Various steel truss systems have been developed.
Two generic forms of light steel roof truss may be used:
C

Closely spaced roof trusses: the open roof truss uses bolted C sections which
provide for habitable roof space, as shown in Figure 4.4.

Widely spaced roof trusses: the more traditional Fink trusses may be spaced
wider apart (3 to 5 m) and purlins may span between. The space between
the trusses may be used for storage, etc.

P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

33

18 April 2002

Both roof systems may be used in new-build and in renovation projects by overroofing. The Capella system, shown in Figure 4.5, has been specifically
developed for over-roofing in renovation applications.
Generally, the
connections between the members are bolted because of the relatively high
forces that are transferred. Over-roofing is covered in a recent SCI publication
[7]
Over-roofing of existing buildings using light steel .

4.5

Structural Frames

Cold formed sections can be used not only as secondary members but also as
beams and columns in primary structural frames. This has proved to be
successful in light commercial and industrial buildings and in mezzanine floors.
Often it is necessary to use C sections placed back to back in longer span
applications to increase their buckling resistance.
P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

34

18 April 2002

Traditional C and Z sections can be made up into more complex assemblies, as


shown in Figure 4.6. The sections are thin enough to facilitate connections by
self-tapping screws. Alternatively, C sections can be bolted together to form load
bearing frames, as shown in Figure 4.7 for a school building. Bolted connections
can be made with autoform cleated ends and with pre-punched bolt holes.
Typical framing arrangements at junctions of floors and walls are shown in Figure
4.8. The transfer of vertical loads in the walls in platform construction can be
achieved by stiffening the ends of the floor joists.

The Swagebeam is a special form of C section that has been developed to


enhance the shear and bending resistance of bolted connections between the
sections. This is achieved via the bearing action of indentations in the web of the
section and of embossments in the web cleats. A typical swagebeam connection
in a mezzanine floor is shown in Figure 4.9. This system has been used in
rectangular frames and in portal frames (up to 15 m span).

Figure 4.9

Curtain walling and over-cladding

Curtain walling to multi-storey buildings consists of light frames which support


glazing, aluminium or steel panels, or stone veneer. These can be storey high
panels which are connected to the floor slabs. Cold formed steel sections can
be used for the sub-frame components to the cladding and there are a number
of recent examples of buildings where this has been used successfully both in
new construction and in renovation (see Figure 4.10). A dry envelope is erected
rapidly, which means that the internal fit-out can commence without the
cladding being on the critical path.
Over-cladding of existing buildings is an important market where light steel
sub-frames can be used to span directly between floors. The sub-frames are also
designed to allow for adjustments due to site tolerances (see Figure 4.11). A
variety of cladding materials may be used, such as composite panels or cassette
panels. The design requirements for over-cladding systems are reviewed in an
[8]
SCI publication Over-cladding of existing buildings using light steel .

Housing

Light steel framing used in low-rise housing has been successful in Australia,
Japan, USA, Canada and now in the UK. Currently, four light steel framing
systems are used in the housing sector in the UK. Modern methods of light steel
framing used in housing may be considered to be of three basic forms:
C

discrete members that are assembled on site to form to which cladding is


attached. These are similar to frame systems covered in Section 4.5.

wall panels, prefabricated in storey high units (platform construction). This


is a similar form of construction to that used in timber framed housing. The
wall panels are insulated externally to create a warm frame.

complete house modules or modular components. Other more sophisticated


steel/concrete boxes have been developed for applications in hotels or
apartment blocks (see Section 4.8).

In wall panel systems, the individual panels are prefabricated by self-piercing


rivets, or welding, and the panels are lifted into place, and bolted together on site
(see Figure 4.12).

Figure 4.12 Erection of light steel framing for a two-storey house


In the Surebuild system, steel floor joists sit on a Z shaped trimmer section
attached to the top of the lower storey wall panels, and the upper panels are
attached to the lower panels in so-called platform construction. The steel stud
wall panels use 75 32 mm C sections at 400 mm spacing. These are located
on the warm internal face of a 35 mm thick insulation board. The internal
finish is a fire resistant plasterboard designed to give 30 minutes fire resistance.
Heavier or multiple board systems can provide 60 minutes fire resistance.
Brickwork is attached by wall ties located in a vertical track which is screwed
through the insulation to the wall studs.

The Metsec Gypframe system uses C sections attached by bolts in countersunk


holes. The Gypframe system is erected as two-storey high wall panels and the
floor joists are bolted to the webs of the wall studs. It is also constructed as a
warm frame and insulation is pre-attached to the panels.
The other housing systems that are available in the UK are by Ayrshire Steel
Framing and Forge Llewellyn Ltd.

4.8

Modular construction

Modular or volumetric systems are pre-assembled and generally fitted-out in the


factory, so that they are delivered to site as units which are self-supporting and
require only minimal site work to complete the assembly of units. The typical
framework of a pre-fabricated module is shown in Figure 4.13.

Figure 4.13 Modular construction using light steel framing


The units are generally less than 4.5 m wide and up to 12 m long because of the
requirements for transportation and lifting. The framework of the modules
comprises cold formed C sections, often supplemented by hot rolled sections at
the corner posts and bottom beam supports. Some systems are corner supported
which means that the braced walls act as deep beams. Others are continuously
edge supported.
Cladding and roofing is usually attached on-site to form the completed building.
Therefore, a variety of architectural features can be achieved. Modular units can
[9]
also be used in refurbishment .

4.9

Frameless structures

Over the last 20 years, there have been important developments in frameless
construction, where the members and the cladding interact by stressed skin
action. The main structural configurations that have been used are the folded
[16]
plate roof , the truncated pyramid and the barrel vault.

The folded plate roof behaves as a series of inclined beams spanning between
end frames. The fold-line members (cold formed angles) absorb the axial thrusts
and tensions, and the sheeted web is in pure shear. From the point of view of
aesthetics and structural performance the slope of the roof would normally be
between 30 and 45E (to the horizontal) and most efficient spans are between
15 m and 25 m.
The truncated pyramid roof, as shown in Figure 4.14, comprises a compression
ring and a tension ring with hip members transferring the loads between. The
individual sheeted panels are prefabricated and they can be bolted together and
lifted into place in a few hours. Gutter outlets are placed along the valleys and
down the hollow section columns.

4.10 Connections
The common types of fixing between cold formed sections, and between sections
and sheeting, are:
Type

Usual Application

(a) Bolts

Connecting cold formed sections.

(b) Self-tapping screws

Fastening sheeting to sections (< 6 mm thick) or


sheeting to sheeting at sidelaps.

(c) Blind rivets

Fastening sheeting to sheeting at sidelaps.

(d) Powder actuated pins

Fastening sheeting to members (>6 mm thick).

(e) Spot welding

Factory joining of thin steel.

(f) Puddle welding

Site welding of sheeting to sections.

(g) Clinching

Usually factory installed by press-joining.

(h) Self-piercing rivets

Usually factory installed.

(i) Nailing

Site installed using special nails.

These different types of fixing are reviewed as follows:


(a) Bolts: Bolt holes can be punched in cold formed sections; the connections
between members are usually arranged so that the bolts are loaded in shear.
In almost all cases, the resistance of the connection is determined by the
bearing resistance of the thinner steel section, rather than by shear of the bolt.
Countersunk bolts can be located in recessed holes punched into the
sections. In this way, the bolt head does not protrude and does not affect the
fixing of the plasterboard or other lining (see Figure 4.15).

Figure 4.15

Countersunk bolts between wall elements

Autoform ends may also be formed during the cutting and punching process;
these facilitate bolting (see Figure 4.16).

Figure 4.16

42

18 April 2002

In BS 5950-5, Clause 8.2.5.2 the shear resistance of bolted connections is


given as:
Pu

2.1 d t Ys

or Pu

(1.65 + 0.45 t) d t Ys

for t # 1 mm

(14)

for 1 mm < t # 3 mm

(15)

where:
d is the diameter of bolt (mm)
2
Ys is the design strength of steel in thinner plate (N/mm )
t is the thickness of steel in thinner plate (mm)
These shear resistances assume that the bolt end distance is at least 3d and
that washers are used under both the head and the nut. The resistances are
greater than the equivalent values in BS 5950-1, because of build up of
deformed steel in front of the bolt as the thinner section fails in bearing. They
also include a partial safety factor, given by the ratio of the ultimate to the
yield strength of the steel (approximately 1.4).
(b) Self-tapping screws: Self-drilling self-tapping screws are commonly used for
connecting thin steel components. A selection of the screws and the drill that
may be used is shown in Figure 4.17. The drill part of the screw forms a
hole in the steel plate and the tapping part forms the thread. This is a single
operation and gives a relatively strong and stiff form of attachment.
Thin-thick and thin-thin attachments may be made depending on the
length of the screw. The diameter of the screws is in the range of 4.2 to 8.0
mm, the most common size being about 6 mm for thin-thick connections.
The shear resistance (including partial safety factors) may be obtained from
Appendix A of BS 5950-5.

Figure 4.17 Different forms of self-drilling self-tapping screws and the


standard drill

P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

43

18 April 2002

Typically, for a 6 mm diameter screw through 1 mm thick steel, the shear


resistance (including partial safety factors is 3.5 kN (thin-thick fixings) and
2.2 kN (thin-thin fixings). Premature failure of a fixing by pull-out should be
avoided by careful detailing.
Fixings have also been developed for stand-off applications where insulation
materials or timber are to be attached (Figure 4.18).

Figure 4.18 Stand-off type fixing for soft insulation materials


(c) Blind rivets can be in aluminium or alloyed metal (often termed monel).
They are fitted from one side into predrilled holes and a mandrel is pulled by
a special tool so that the rivet expands into and around the hole. These rivets
are commonly of 2.4 to 6.3 mm diameter (dependant on the hole diameter).
It is a relatively firm form of attachment with good pull out resistance and is
useful for thin-thin attachments, e.g. seams in profiled decking. Again,
Appendix A of BS 5950-5 can be used to obtain the shear resistance.
The huck bolt is a similar system, but is used for thicker materials. As for
the blind rivet it is fitted from one side in a pre-drilled hole. Tension is
applied to the stem of the bolt by a special tool and a malleable ring is
pushed to precompress the plates to be attached. When the correct tension
has been applied the outer part of the stem breaks off.
(d) Shot-fired pins (more correctly powder actuated fasteners) are often used
when fastening thin to thick steel. They are usually of 4.2 mm diameter and
the powder of cartridge is selected for the thickness of the steel. The shear
resistance of this type of fixing is given in Appendix A of BS 5950-5 as:
Pu = 3.2 t d Ys

(16)

The enhanced resistance, relative to a bolt of the same diameter, is due to the
tight fit and the precompression of the steel around the fixing.
P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

(e) Spot welding is a technique used mainly in the factory. An arc is created
between the tips of the welding tool on either side of the steel elements to be
attached. It is therefore most appropriate where the welding tool can be
supported and can be moved easily into place to form the weld.
The shear resistance of a spot weld (in N) is given in BS 5950-5, Clause 8.5.3
as:
Pu =

2.7 t d Y s

(17)

(f) Puddle welding is a common site technique in North America. An arc is


created between the manually held welding rod and the bare metal. In order
to weld through to the lower sheet or base steel, a hole is often cut in the
upper sheet and a weld formed around the cut edges.
(g) Clinching is a mechanical process in which two pieces of thin steel are
pressed together to form a local embossment in the surface of the steel.
Clinched connections are effective in shear but are ineffective in tension.
(h) Self piercing rivets have been introduced into the Surebuild system. The
machinery requires sufficient access to make the connection, and therefore
short gusset pieces are often introduced to facilitate these connections
between wall studs.
(i) Nailing of secondary timber elements to thin steel sections or sheeting is
feasible by using a twist-grip nail. This is practicable where the steel is
0.7 mm to 1.0 mm thick; thicker materials require too much effort to pierce;
thinner materials offer too little pull-out resistance.

4.10.1

Simple connections

Conventionally, connections between cold-formed steel sections comprising two


bolts per member are considered as simple (shear resisting) connections. Hot
rolled angles are often used, but cleats of this size are generally over-sized for
this application.
[17]

In a recent experimental investigation , it was demonstrated that cold-formed


steel web-cleats may be used for improved buildability. Both bolts and
self-drilling self-tapping screws may be used as fasterners for cold-formed steel
web cleats, and they are simple and easy for site installation. Typical shear
resistances of simple connections with cold-formed steel web cleats range from
9 kN to 20 kN, depending on the material and geometry of the cold-formed steel
web-cleats.
[17]

A set of design rules is available


to assess the shear resistance of simple
connections with cold-formed steel web cleats for different connection
configurations, depending on the practical spatial orientation of members.
Detailing rules on the minimum and the maximum dimensions for the position
of fasteners should be observed.

4.10.2

Moment connections

In modern roof systems, the purlin-rafter connections between cold-formed steel


sections are highly engineered for the good structural performance of the
continuous purlin members. A number of different connection configurations
with sleeves or overlaps have been developed in various proprietary systems,
which offer partial continuity along the purlins, thereby achieving considerable
economy. Purlin-rafter connections are usually cleated connections in which the
bolts are designed to resist shear.
For beam-column connections, only a limited range of proprietary systems is
available. Mechanical enhancement may be used to increase the moment
resistance of the connections by mobilising bearing actions between the profiled
webs and profiled gusset plates. (A good example of this is the Swagebeam
system.)
An experimental investigation on lipped C sections with hot rolled steel gusset
[17]
plates , beam-column connections and also portal frames was carried out.
The webs of the back-to-back C sections were connected by bolts to the gusset
plate. The maximum moment that was resisted by these nominally simple
connections was up to 85% of the bending resistance of the connected members.

5 SECTION PROPERTIES OF COLD FORMED


SECTIONS
Geometrical properties of cold formed sections are presented (see yellow pages)
in the following format:
C

Gross section properties

Effective section properties (including the effects of local buckling).

Gross properties are used to determine the elastic stiffness of members or the
moments in continuous structures or frames. Effective properties are used to
determine the load carrying capabilities of the sections.
The geometry of the various sections included in this design guide are presented
in Figures 5.1 and 5.2, and their dimensions are given in Tables 5.1 and 5.2.
These sections are available for general use, but the list is not exhaustive. The
tables include only those sections available for general structural applications.
This ignores the smaller C sections.
Gross section properties of the section include:
C

Height and thickness (which define the section)

Self-weight

Cross-sectional area

Second moment of area about x and y axes

Section modulus about x and y axes

Radius of gyration about x and y axes

Torsion and warping constants

Position of centroid and shear centre.

For Z sections, the second moment of area about the principal axes (u and v) and
also the angle, 2 between the principal axis u and the x axis, are also presented.
Effective section properties incorporate the influence of local buckling and are
used in resistance calculations. Properties are given for:
C

Effective area ratio, or Q factor

Section modulus about x and y axes

Second moment of area about x axes

Shift of neutral axis position.

Gross and effective section properties are also given for double (i.e. back to back)
C or equivalent sections, but not for Z sections.
The effective section modulus and second moment of area are based on a steel
2
2
design strength of 280 N/mm or 350 N/mm , as specified by the relevant
manufacturer.

P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

47

18 April 2002

The Q factor is a term which defines the ratio of the effective to the gross
cross-sectional area of the section (see Section 3.4.1). The compression
resistance, Pcs, is based on the effective section, but ignores the effects of lateral
instability.
The bending resistance of the section, which is assumed to be laterally restrained,
is determined from:
Mc =

Z( Do

where Z( is the effective section modulus (for the x or y directions, as


appropriate) and po is the bending strength determined by the slenderness of the
web. Tension yielding is permitted in the evaluation of Z( for asymmetric
bending, which may mean that the value of Z( exceeds the elastic value for the
gross section.
The section property tables refer to those cold formed steel sections readily
available at the time of publication. Sections are continually being modified and
improved, and new sections manufactured. The individual companies
mentioned should therefore be contacted to establish their latest product range.
Manufacturers addresses and telephone numbers are given in the Appendix A.
The section property data may differ slightly for that given by manufacturers who
have carried out load tests to establish the key bending properties. In this
publication, more section property data are given than would be included in
manufacturers tables.
Load capacity tables for discrete beams and columns are presented in Section 6
for the generic sections listed in Tables 6.1 and 6.2, these being representative
of those manufactured by a number of companies. They should be used for
scheme design. Double sections are recommended for columns and heavily
loaded beams.

Summary of assumptions in deriving the section


property tables

Gross section properties are independent of steel strength and operating stress
(i.e. the unreduced section).

The actual steel thickness used in calculations is the specified thickness less
the galvanizing thickness (0.04 mm).

Corner radii (internal) are taken as 2 section thickness, or as recommended


by the manufacturer. The effective width of the flat plates excludes corners.
Corners are included in calculating section properties.

The horizontal distance of the shear centre of the section from the adjacent
web/flange junction may be assumed to be zero for Z sections.

P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

52

18 April 2002

Double (back to back) sections are assumed to act as compound sections.

Effective widths of compression plates are calculated using the appropriate


value of buckling coefficient, K (K $ 4) as given by Appendix C of BS 5950-5.

Effective section properties are calculated for the steel yield strength specified
by the manufacturers.

The effective section modulus, Zy is calculated for a stress in the compression


plate of py. This property is used in calculating the moment capacity of the
section. The effects of web buckling are included.

Tension yielding is permitted for non-symmetric sections.

The effective second moment of area is calculated on the same basis as the
section modulus.

6 LOAD AND PERFORMANCE


CHARACTERISTICS OF COLD FORMED
SECTIONS
This Section refers to a series of Load Capacity Tables (see pink and green pages)
giving load carrying capacities of generic cold formed steel sections. Values are
given for the based on limitations of both bending resistance and deflection.

6.1

Generic sections

The generic sections are symmetric C and Z sections, with flange widths as given
in Table 6.1. The sizes have been selected to be typical of those marketed. Back
to back C sections are used as "double" sections. Properties for most of the
sections are given for steel grade S280 (pink pages); some sections are also given
for steel grade S350 ( green pages). These generic sections are representative of
sections of similar size and thickness produced by a number of manufacturers,
and can be used for scheme design in a particular application. Manufacturer's
data should be used for final design.

Load capacity tables for beams

For each section size and steel grade, a single load-span table is given. The table
gives values of maximum working load per span for a range of spans and restraint
conditions, at the limits of bending resistance, of total deflection and of web
crushing. For any particular situation, the minimum of the three values is to be
taken as the maximum working load that may be supported by each span of the
beam. Deflections tend to govern the choice of section as the span/depth ratio
of the member increases.

6.2.1 Bending resistance limits


The bending resistance of a beam depends on the distance between points of
lateral restraint, as explained in Section 3.3.4. The bending resistance in derived
in the tables is that given by BS 5950-5 for the particular section and restraint
conditions. Most beams used in floors are continuously restrained, if fixed
regularly to the flooring.
The load values in the table are the values of total working load per span which,
when multiplied by a factor of 1.6 (see Section 1.2), cause a bending moment at
midspan that is equal to the bending resistance. (That is WL/8 for distributed
loads and WL/4 for point loads.) The factor of 1.6 is conservative in all cases,
and becomes increasingly so as the ratio of dead to imposed load increases. No
distinction is made between single and multiple spans. This is a safe
assumption, based conservatively on the same moment at failure.
For C sections, values are given for both single and double sections. For Z
sections, values are only given for single sections.

6.2.2 Deflection limits


Beam deflections depend on the section stiffness, the beam span, and whether
it is simply supported or continuous. Load values in the tables correspond to the
total working load per span at which the total deflection is equal to the limits of
either span/250 or span/350 (see comment in Section 3.5.2).
Deflections are calculated using a section stiffness based on the average of the
gross and the effective second moments of area of the section. The working load
is unfactored when calculating these deflections. Deflections for the double span
case are assumed to be 60% of the value for the single span case.
The limit of span/250 corresponds to the 'normal' limitation for beams in roofs.
The limit of span/350 should be used for lightweight floors. If it is assumed that
the self weight component for floors is about 30% of the total load, this limit
correspond to approximately L/450 under imposed load. Furthermore, the
deflection under total load should not exceed 15 mm in order to satisfy the
natural frequency limit of 8 Hz (see Section 3.5.1).

6.2.3 Web crushing limits


Additionally, values are given for each section for the load at which web
crushing will occur at supports or at a point load when no web stiffener or cleat
is present. The crushing resistance depends on the support width and the lateral
restraint to the top flange. Web crushing resistance is in accordance with BS
5950-5, depending on the location of the load and the restraint to the flanges.
As for bending resistance, the load values are working loads which, when
multiplied by a factor of 1.6, will equal the crushing resistance of the web. For
single spans, the total load W is twice the crushing resistance. Continuous or
multiple spans result in increased reactions at the internal supports. Thus, an
additional stiffening cleat is required for all continuous beam applications.

6.3

Load capacity tables for columns

For each section size and steel grade, a single load-height table is given. The
table gives values of the maximum axial working load for a range of effective
lengths for both axes of the section.
Values are given for single and double C sections. Double sections are assumed
to be attached together at regular intervals to form an equivalent I section. No
tables are given for Z sections, since they are not normally used to support axial
load.
The load values in the table are the values of working load which, when
multiplied by a factor of 1.6, are equal to the compressive resistance of the
column. The column resistance is derived in accordance with BS 5950-5, as
discussed in Section 3.4. The factor of 1.6 is conservative in all cases, and
becomes increasingly so as the ratio of dead to live load increases.
In deriving the axial resistances, torsional restraints are assumed at the positions
of the major axis restraints and at the column ends. This affects the torsionalflexural buckling mode of failure.

For the concentrically loaded case, the load eccentricity is assumed to be zero.
For the eccentrically loaded cases, the load is assumed to be applied at the face
of the section. For members in walls, the eccentric load is typically taken to be
applied at the wall face, but concentrically on the other axis. For isolated
columns, load is typically taken to be applied eccentrically to both axes, i.e. at
a corner of the section. Values are given for combinations of four different
effective lengths about the y-y or minor axis and two different effective lengths
about the x-x or major axis. Values are also given for the cases where
continuous restraint is provided about each axis, in combination with the range
of effective lengths about the other axis. (In the plane of walls, minor axis
restraint can be provided by straps.)

6.4

Guidance on selection of cold formed steel


sections

For efficient structural performance, the following general guidelines on member


selection are given:
(1) For compliance with normal deflection limits, the ratios of member span, L
to depth, D should be:
L/D # 20
L/D # 24
L/D # 30
L/D # 35

simply supported floor beams


continuous floor beams
simply supported roof beams
continuous roof beams.

(2) Restrain the compression (upper) flange of beams by attachment of flooring


or roof sheeting or other members.
(3) Limit the effects of local buckling by keeping the flange widths to steel
thickness ratio (b/t) to within the following limits:
b/t # 40
b/t # 12
b/t # 60

lipped sections
plain sections (no lips)
lipped sections with intermediate stiffener

(4) Limit the effects of web buckling or web crushing by keeping the web depth
to thickness ratio, (D/t), within the following limits:
Single span:
D/t # 120 for single sections under uniformly distributed loads
D/t # 80 for single sections under point loads
D/t # 150 for double sections back-to-back
Double span:
D/t # 80 for single sections
D/t # 120 for double sections back-to-back
(5) Avoid heavy point loads applied directly to the top flange of the member.
Allow at least 50 mm end bearing for heavily loaded beams, and 100 mm
bearing for internal supports on double span beams (or, preferably, use a
stiffening cleat).

P:\CMP\Cmp657\pubs\P276\P276-Final.wpd

18 April 2002

(6) Restrain studs in their y-y (minor axis) direction at one or two points along
their length, or use double C sections). The unsupported height H divided by
the member depth should be less than 35.
Designs outside the above suggested limits are permitted, but this can result in
relatively inefficient structural performance. Designing within these limits does
not imply that structural calculations are unnecessary, but rather that the selected
section will be structurally efficient for the loads and span conditions under
consideration.

6.5

Example of use of load-span tables for beams

Consider a floor spanning 4.5 m, with beams at 600 mm spacing:


2

Imposed load
Self weight of floor
Total working load

= 2.5 kN/m
2
= 0.5 kN/m (assumed)
2
= 3.0 kN/m

Load on beam

= 3 0.6 4.5 = 8.1 kN

Choose deep lipped C section with L/D = 20 (approx) - say 200 mm deep
For D/t = 120, t = 1.67 ; say 1.8 mm thick:
From Table 12:
Bending resistance of section:
Max. load for full restraint = 10.2 kN ~ OK
Deflection of single span beam.
For * # L/350: max. load = 7.3 kN, which is not adequate.
Deflection of double span beam.
For * # L/350: max. load = 12.2 kN, which is adequate.
Web crushing: Support width = 50 mm
For unrestrained section, max. load = 8.2 kN ~ OK
Therefore, 200 mm 1.8 mm thick C section is adequate, provided that the
beams are double span.
For single span beams, try 2.0 mm thick section.
From Table 13:
Bending resistance of beam:
Max. load for full restraint = 11.6 kN ~ OK
Deflection of single span beam.
For * # L/350: max. load = 8.3 kN, which is adequate
Web crushing: Support width = 50 mm
For unrestrained section, max. load = 10.1 kN ~ OK
Therefore, 200 mm 2.0 mm thick C section is adequate as a single span beam
