Structural Systems with Hollow Flange Sections in Cold-Formed Steel

Palmer Tube Mills制造了一系列新的冷弯钢制中空法兰型材，采用独特的双电阻焊接工艺，用于建筑行业。新型材结合了热轧开口型材和冷弯型材的性能，从而创造出更具结构效率的型材。这些新的部分经历了一些在当前设计标准中没有考虑的独特和特定的失效模式。该项目将研究这些失效模式，为其结构设计制定有效和安全的指导方针。该项目还将开发新的结构系统，以利用这些路段的独特性质。

Palmer Tube Mills have created a new range of hollow flange sections in cold-formed steel manufactured with the unique dual resistance welding process for use in the construction industry. The new sections combine the properties of hot-rolled open sections and cold-formed sections to create more structurally efficient sections. These new sections experience some unique and specific failure modes that are not considered in current design standards. This project will investigate these failure modes to devise efficient and safe guidelines for their structural design. The project will also develop new structural systems to utilise the unique properties of these sections.
