Abstract
Cold-formed steel deck profiles are extensively used in building construction due to their versatility and economical considerations. Web crippling is one of the failure modes for these multi-web profiles. The 1996-AISI Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members provisions for web crippling are believed to be conservative for multi-web deck sections. They are based on unfastened specimens and are limited to the use of decks with certain geometric parameters. The unified web crippling equation of the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI 2001) is also limited to certain geometric parameters. Although it has new web crippling coefficients for different load cases and different end conditions, in the End One Flange Loading case, coefficients for the unfastened configuration were used as a conservative solution for the fastened case because there was no directly applicable test data available in the literature. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on web crippling strength of multiple-web cold-formed steel deck sections subjected to End One Flange (EOF) loading. A total of 78 tests were conducted on deck sections at Virginia Tech. Test specimens lying inside and outside of certain geometric parameters of the specifications were tested with both unrestrained and restrained end conditions. Test specimens lying inside the specification parameters have revealed conservative results in the prediction of web crippling strength using both the AISI(1996) and the draft of the North American Specification (AISI 2001.)

Web Crippling Strength of Multi-web Steel Deck Sections Subjected to End One Flange Loading
Cold-formed steel deck profiles are extensively used in building construction due to their versatility and economical considerations. Web crippling is one of the failure modes for these multi-web profiles. The 1996-AISI Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members provisions for web crippling are believed to be conservative for multi-web deck sections. They are based on unfastened specimens and are limited to the use of decks with certain geometric parameters. The unified web crippling equation of the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI 2001) is also limited to certain geometric parameters. Although it has new web crippling coefficients for different load cases and different end conditions, in the End One Flange Loading case, coefficients for the unfastened configuration were used as a conservative solution for the fastened case because there was no directly applicable test data available in the literature. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on web crippling strength of multiple-web cold-formed steel deck sections subjected to End One Flange (EOF) loading. A total of 78 tests were conducted on deck sections at Virginia Tech. Test specimens lying inside and outside of certain geometric parameters of the specifications were tested with both unrestrained and restrained end conditions. Test specimens lying inside the specification parameters have revealed conservative results in the prediction of web crippling strength using both the AISI(1996) and the draft of the North American Specification (AISI 2001.)
