Resistance Factor for Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members

This research investigates if the LRFD strength reduction factor for cold-formed steel compression members can be increased above its current value of Ï c = 0.85, which was established by the LRFD Cold-Formed Steel Design Manual (1991) on the basis of 264 column tests. The resistance factor in the C...
