Abstract
Distortional buckling which is one of the most important buckling modes for cold-formed lipped channel sections as well as local buckling and global buckling may change mechanical properties and decrease the ultimate load of members. This paper reviews research achievements in distortional buckling, compares the existed design methods according to five national (regional) codes and the latest research achievements. Based on the comparison between five calculating data and test results, it is shown that the design method of North American specification has widespread application and relatively high accuracy, which could supply references for structural design.
