Abstract
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the behaviour of cold-formed steel intermediately stiffened plates which are subject to pure compression and cold-formed beams with intermediately stiffen ed compression elements which are subject to bending. Each plate or be am has a central intermediate stiffener The investigation is concerned with the performance of the intermediately stiffened elements with di fferent degrees of rigidity provided by the stiffener. The ultimate lo ads are compared with the predictions of BS 5950 Part 5 Code and the f irst Draft Eurocode 3.
