Abstract: The aim of this report is to give a review of the progress in field of cold formed steel sections. Particular emphases are given to the study of strength and behaviour of different cold formed steel sections with flange or web stiffeners. Cold formed steel members can be plain in simple applications, but if provided with flange or web stiffeners, their performance and resistance to local, distortional and lateral torsional buckling improves. The idea behind cold-formed steel members is to use shape rather than thickness to support load. Due to the relatively easy method of manufacturing, a large number of different configurations can be produced to fit the demands of optimized design for both structural and economical purposes.
Keywords: Local, distortional, flexural buckling, stiffened elements.
