Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

    Abstract

    Cold-formed steel sections are often used as wall studs or floor joists; such sections often include web holes for ease of installation of the services. In this paper, a combination of experimental tests and non-linear finite element analyses are used to investigate the effect of such holes on web crippling under interior-two-flange (ITF) and end-two-flange (ETF) loading conditions; the cases of both flange fastened and flange unfastened are considered. A non-linear finite element model is described, and the results compared against the laboratory test results; a good agreement was obtained in terms of both strength and failure modes.
