SECTION PROPERTIES
BEAM LOADING
COLUMN LOADING
Calculations of section properties are based on metal thicknesses as determined by the AISI Cold-Formed Steel Design Manual.
Based on simple beam condition using an allowable design stress of 25,000 psi (172 MPa) in accordance with MFMA, with adequate
lateral bracing (see page 11 for further explanation). Actual yield point of cold rolled steel is 42,000 psi. To determine concentrated load
capacity at mid span, multiply uniform load by 0.5 and corresponding deflection by 0.8. *Failure determined by weld shear.
**Where the slenderness ratio
KL
exceeds 200, and K = end fixity factor
, L
= actual length and r = radius of gyration.
