V. AISI 2016 2CU F2F Tensile Strength
Verify the axial tensile strength of a double cold-formed channel section according to the AISI S100 2016 specification using both the LRFD and ASD methods.
- American Iron and Steel Institute. AISI Manual: Cold-formed Steel Design - Vol. 1.. 2018. Milwaukee, WI.
Details
The member is 10 ft long cantilever. The section used is a pair of 600T125-54 channels in a front-to-front configuration (no spacing between channel toes). Assume a net section area of 0.90× the gross section area.
Section Properties
Properties of a 600T125-54 (listed as a 600CU125-54 in STAAD.Pro):
- Cross-section area, A = 0.48 in2
Material Properties
- E = 29,000 ksi
- G = 11,200 ksi
- Fy = 36 ksi
- Fu = 58 ksi
Calculations
Section Properties
- Cross-section area, A = 2× 0.48 = 0.96 in2
The net area of the cross section:
An = 0.9× (0.96) = 0.864 in2
Tensile Yielding of Gross Section
Tn = Ag×Fy = 0.96 × 36 = 34.56
((Eq. D2-1))- LRFD: ϕtTn = 0.90 × 34.56 = 31.10 kips
- ASD: Tn/Ωt = 34.56 / 1.67 = 20.69 kips
Tensile Rupture of Net Section
Tn = An×Fy = 0.864 × 58 = 50.11
((Eq. D3-1))- LRFD: ϕtTn = 0.75 × 50.11 = 37.58 kips
- ASD: Tn/Ωt = 50.11 / 2.00 = 25.06 kips
