Description:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Cold‐formed steel back‐to‐back built‐up beams are efficient and very attractive structural elements which can also offer excellent efficiency in production, both in capacity and material savings. The connection between such built‐up steel components can be easily obtained by screws or bolts, but the developments in the welding processes also lead to other solutions like continuous (laser or MIG brazing) or discrete (spot welding). This paper presents a parametric numerical study on such elements where various shapes and cross‐section geometries will be analysed, using different types of connection between the built‐up steel elements. The results from the evaluation of local and global buckling behaviour of such beams will serve as a base for planning future experimental work. Based on the numerical model, the paper presents the influence of several parameters i.e., the type of the channel section (lipped or plain channels), length of the beam, continuous and discrete connections between channels, the number and the distance between discrete connections along the beam axis and along the beam height. From the parametric study, it is concluded that capacity of the cold‐formed steel back‐to‐back built‐up steel beams is highly affected by the type of connections.</jats:p>
