Abstract
![CDATA[Cold-form Steel Section has been known for its high strength due to high strength to weight ratio. Cold form steel (CFS) sections are used for load bearing primary members in substantial structures like high storey building and bridges, and non-bearing structural elements like composite roofing, slab decks and wall panels. Limited experimental study on CFS sections for wall panel has been conducted, which is not sufficient to understand its behaviour. As experimental investigation conducted on CFS sections for wall panel is expensive and time consuming, the development of FE models, well validated against experimental data, would be form a useful alternative to overcome any experimental limitations. In this paper, parametric study using finite element (FE) analysis has been conducted to investigate the behaviour of the CFS sections for wall panel under flexural loading. The FE model is validated by comparing the FE model results with test results. The extensive parametric study is conducted to investigate the effects of different combinations of steel sections and gypsum plasterboard, that can possibly influence the elastic behaviour of the cold form steel sections. The parametric results show that the presence of gypsum plasterboard has significant influence on the elastic behaviour of the CFS sections used in wall panel.]]
