Example: Design of a cold-formed steel lipped

channel wall stud in compression and bending
This example deals with the design of an external wall stud in compression
and uniaxial bending. The stud has pinned end conditions and is composed
of two thin-walled cold-formed back-to-back lipped channel sections. The
connection between the channels is assumed to be rigid (a welded
connection, for example).
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
