Abstract
The design, development and analysis of a new cold roll formed product is presented. The objective of this exercise is to produce an economi c and efficient profile which incorporates the basic C shape, with add itional enhancements to improve its structural performance. A new sect ional properties computer program was employed to analyse the profile, The potential of this software is also explored Since it is able to d etermine the sectional properties of an arbitrary shape, it is a power ful tool in the optimisation of new cold rolled formed products.
