Tensile test analysis of cold-formed column in channel profile

This study analyzes the joint capacity of cold-rolled steel frame structure for multi-level buildings to withstand axial loads. The column frame joint structures will be modeled, analyzed and tested. In this paper, the study is about cold-formed channel profile that will be tensile tested with 2 variations of the joint. The research objectives are (1) to determine the stress and strain, (2) the damage pattern. The test object is modeled using FEM with a scale of 1: 1 and the loading used is linear static loading. Simulation with FEM use a trial and error method by entering the parameters obtained. The draft and design of channel profiles using cold rolled steel material refers to several guidelines including SNI-7971-2013 on Cold Formed Steel Structures. (paper)
