Popis: In the construction of steel structures, the two most common types of structural members are hot-formed and cold-formed members. This paper mainly describes the analytical and experimental research on the strength and characteristics of CFS bolted built-up sigma sections having different structural arrangements under bending. The cross-sectional dimensions for the parametric study were selected by the sizes available in the market. In this paper, ANSYS workbench software was used to perform FE modeling and observe the local, flexural, and interaction of these buckling. Then, experimental study was performed by varying the arrangement of open section beams between face-to-face and back-to-back, connected using bolts or fasteners different spacings. Further, we conducted bending tests on cold-formed steel built-up members having simple edge stiffeners in the middle. Comparing both analytical and experimental studies, the results indicate that the back-to-back connected built-up beam section provides a flexural capacity higher than the face-to-face built-up section. Moreover, increasing the bolt spacing enhanced the load-carrying capacity of back-to-back sigma section built-up beams. It has also been discovered that the flexural strength of beams is primarily determined by bolt spacing or itsposition.
