Flexural testing of cold-formed steel members with reinforced web openings
Abstract
The floor joists of Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) structures may require large web openings. Providing appropriate reinforcements for such openings may mitigate the detrimental effects of such large web openings. This paper is based on a recent experimental investigation which considered 203mm deep 14 gauge (thickness 1.91mm) galvanized lipped channel sections having circular, square, and rectangular openings, and two associated reinforcement …
