Abstract
The web crippling strength of cold-formed ferritic stainless steel unlipped channels subject to interior-one-flange and end-one-flange loading is considered in this paper. A total of 144 results are presented, comprising 36 laboratory and 108 numerical results. These results cover the cases of both flanges restrained and unrestrained to the load and reaction plates. Unlike other work in the literature, the numerical analysis in this paper uses nonlinear quasi-static finite element analysis with an implicit integration scheme, which has advantages over static and quasi-static with an explicit integration scheme analyses, particularly for post buckling predictions of unlipped channels subject to web crippling. The laboratory and numerical investigations show current stainless steel design guidance to be too conservative. In terms of design standards, while no cold-formed stainless steel standard distinguishes between flanges restrained and unrestrained to the load and reaction plates, with each standard providing only one equation to cover both restrained and unrestrained, the web crippling strengths for the flanges unrestrained case were found to be higher than those predicted from SEI/ASCE-8 by as much as 24%. Also, the web crippling strengths for the flanges restrained case are shown to be higher than those predicted from equations found in the literature by as much as 48%. New web crippling design equations are proposed; the proposed equations are shown to be reliable when compared against laboratory and numerical results.

Web Crippling Behavior of Cold-Formed Ferritic Stainless Steel Unlipped Channels under Interior-One-Flange And End-One-Flange Loadings
The web crippling strength of cold-formed ferritic stainless steel unlipped channels subject to interior-one-flange and end-one-flange loading is considered in this paper. A total of 144 results are presented, comprising 36 laboratory and 108 numerical results. These results cover the cases of both flanges restrained and unrestrained to the load and reaction plates. Unlike other work in the literature, the numerical analysis in this paper uses nonlinear quasi-static finite element analysis with an implicit integration scheme, which has advantages over static and quasi-static with an explicit integration scheme analyses, particularly for post buckling predictions of unlipped channels subject to web crippling. The laboratory and numerical investigations show current stainless steel design guidance to be too conservative. In terms of design standards, while no cold-formed stainless steel standard distinguishes between flanges restrained and unrestrained to the load and reaction plates, with each standard providing only one equation to cover both restrained and unrestrained, the web crippling strengths for the flanges unrestrained case were found to be higher than those predicted from SEI/ASCE-8 by as much as 24%.
