Abstract

In the design of cold-formed steel purlins based on Eurocode 3, the lateral bending moment in the free flange of the purlin, when in tension, is assumed to be zero due to flange curling and second order effects. To investigate the validity of this design assumption, non-linear analytical and finite element models for analyzing how the gravity load affects the maximum mid-span stresses in cold-formed steel purlins attached to the roof sheeting are presented in this paper. The second-order effect of tensile stresses induced by the gravity load in the free flange of purlins is investigated by emphasizing on Z and C sections. The results obtained from the two models are compared with Eurocode 3, and they are included in this article. It is observed that for shorter purlin span lengths the design assumption underestimates the maximum mid-span stresses.
