Example: Design of a cold-formed steel lipped

channel wall stud in compression
This example deals with the design of a pinned wall stud subjected to
compression. The stud is composed of a cold-formed lipped channel section
where boards are attached to both flanges and they prevent buckling in the
weak direction and torsional buckling.
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
