This example deals with the effective properties calculation of a coldformed lipped channel section subjected to compression.
For practical design of light gauge sections to EN1993, designers will normally use software or refer to manufacturers data. This example is presented for illustrative purposes
Basic Data The dimensions of the cross-section and the material properties are: Total height h = 200 mm Total width of upper flange

Checking of geometrical proportions The design method of EN1993-1-3 can be applied if the following conditions EN1993-1-3 are satisfied: 5.2
b t 60 c t 50 h t 500
b1 t = 74 1,96 = 37,75 < 60 OK c t = 20,8 1,96 = 10,61 < 50 OK h t = 200 1,96 = 102,04 < 500 OK
In order to provide sufficient stiffness and to avoid primary buckling of the stiffener itself, the size of stiffener should be within the following range:
0,2 c b 0,6
c b1 = 20,8 74 = 0,28 c b2 = 20,8 66 = 0,32
0,2 < 0,28 < 0,6 OK 0,2 < 0,32 < 0,6 OK
The influence of rounding of the corners is neglected if:
r t5
r bp 0,10
r t = 3 1,96 = 1,53 < 5 OK

r bp1 = 3 72 = 0,04 < 0,10 OK r bp 2 = 3 64 = 0,05 < 0,10 OK

Effective section properties of the flanges and lips in compression
The general (iterative) procedure is applied to calculate the effective EN1993-1-3 properties of the compressed flange and the lip (plane element with edge 5.5.3.2 stiffener). The calculation should be carried out in three steps: Step 1: Obtain an initial effective cross-section for the stiffeners using effective EN1993-1-3 widths of the flanges determined by assuming that the compressed flanges are 5.5.3.2 (3) doubly supported, the stiffener gives full restraint ( K = ) and that design strength is not reduced ( com,Ed = f yb / M 0 ).
