flat width of cold formed steel sections
flat width of cold formed steel sections
(OP)
For cold formed steel in gauge thickness, if you don't know what the corner radius is, can you take the flat width as the overall width minus three times the member thickness? This is from the AISC spec for hollow structural sections. Yes, I know that AISC governs for structural steel, and that AISI governs for light gauge steel. I have not been able to find in the AISI spec a procedure to determine flat width thickness.
Specifically, I have a 2" square 14 gauge steel tube, ASTM A500 steel that I am calculating the bending capacity for. Thanks.
