Abstract
Connections in cold-formed steel structures using multiple press joins can develop moment resistance. This paper describes and presents the results of a series of rests on cold-formed steel C sections with mult iple press joined connections. The experimental results are compared w ith similar tests on simply supported and pinned end connected beams a nd the degree of partial fixity is assessed The failure load can be pr edicted using plastic analysis techniques.
