Abstract
An investigation on the ultimate and service load capacity of cold-formed steel lipped C-section studs for the wall system is presented. An experimental research has been carried out to study the structural behavior of stud assembly subjected to lateral loads. Each test specimen consisted of three or four lipped C-section studs and two C-section tracks which restrain both ends of wall studs from rotation. The effects of main parameters, such as perforation on the web, space of bridge channel and special clip to fix the bridge channel and to sustain the distance between lips, were studied in the experimental work. The effect of gypsum board and ply wood attached to tension flanges was also investigated. The test strength capacity was compared with the nominal flexural strength and lateral buckling strength based on the AISI Specifications (1996).

A Study on the Flexural Strength Capacity of Wall Stud Assembly
An investigation on the ultimate and service load capacity of cold-formed steel lipped C-section studs for the wall system is presented. An experimental research has been carried out to study the structural behavior of stud assembly subjected to lateral loads. Each test specimen consisted of three or four lipped C-section studs and two C-section tracks which restrain both ends of wall studs from rotation. The effects of main parameters, such as perforation on the web, space of bridge channel and special clip to fix the bridge channel and to sustain the distance between lips, were studied in the experimental work. The effect of gypsum board and ply wood attached to tension flanges was also investigated. The test strength capacity was compared with the nominal flexural strength and lateral buckling strength based on the AISI Specifications (1996).
