The objective of this paper is to provide the development of a new algorithm that produces a family of minimal weight cold-formed steel lipped channels with the smallest number of individual cross-sections (family size) that are still capable of covering the current engineering design demands as commonly found in light steel framing. Current research in cold-formed steel optimization has largely sought...
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the application of formal optimization tools towards maximizing the compressive strength of an open cold-formed steel cross section. In addition, in the work presented here the cross section shape is not limited by pre-determined elements (flanges, webs, stiffeners, etc.), as is commonly required to meet the necessity of conventional code-based procedures...
