Figure 1 shows a simply supported cold-formed steel beam with a lipped channel section. The beam is subjected to two concentrated loads with the same magnitude of P. Straps are provided at the loading and support positions. The material properties include yield strength fy = 483.49 MPa, Young's modulus E = 206.9 GPa and Poisson's ratio v = 0.3. b Dimensions h = 202.35 mm 0 b = 76.61 mm r c = 20.88 mm t = 2.4 mm P P r = 5 mm h t 800 mm 1000 mm 800 mm 0 2600 mm Figure 1: Simply supported cold-formed steel beam. There are two main tasks that you need to do Task A - determine the bending moment capacity (section moment capacity) of the beam section subject to local buckling. You will: . Describe the procedure of modelling the complex beam in the software with inputs are shown · Visualise (plot) and comment on the relationship between applied load and vertical deflection of the beam · Determine the bending moment capacity based on data from the numerical modelling
