- Distortional buckling of cold-formed steel (CFS) beams is not well understood, in contrast to conventional local and global buckling of thin-walled beams that appear in textbooks. In the literature, several models have been developed for predicting the critical stress of distortional buckling of CFS beams; but they are either inaccurate or too complicated for practical use. This paper describes a novel method which both improves accuracy and is simple to use. The work has also led the development of new design manual used in Albion Section (UK) for designing CFS zed-, channel- and sigma-section beams.
