Abstract

As per ministry of housing, 1.77 million number of peoples don’t have one of basic amenities i.e. house. Basically Cold Formed Steel are Pre-Engineered Building structures which enhance easy and faster mode of construction and can overcome this concern. These structures are designed using semi rigid connections which makes the system earthquake resistant in addition to the safety, durability, performance and long-term low operational costs for the 50-year design life of a typical low-rise residential house. This study is made using IS801 and AISI code equations subjected to maximum allowable stress, with effective section properties of C section with different b/t ratios of flange. It helps to understand the behavior of cold formed steel sections under compression subjected to loading conditions for different lengths.
