This paper presents the flexural behaviour of cold-formed double lipped channels beams under pure bending action. Two channel sections are bolted back-to-back to form an I-shape structural beam member. A series of six experiment tests were carried out on beam specimens DC200 and DC250, each with 200 mm depth and 250 mm depth respectively. The thickness of beam section is 2 mm and the design yield strength is 350 N/mm2. All beams failed at local buckling at top-flange due to lateral instability of the cold-formed steel structural members. The moment resistance for DC200 is 17.87 kNm and DC250 is 31.53 kNm. The experimental results are compared to theoretical resistance prediction based on British Standard and Eurocode. The comparison showed that the experimental moment capacity is lower than the theoretical bending moment resistance but higher than theoretical buckling moment resistance from Eurocode. This showed that a better agreement is achieved between experimental data and Eurocode buckling moment resistance for cold-formed steel beam under pure bending. Kertas kerja ini membentangkan sifat lenturan rasuk keluli tergelek sejuk di bawah tindakan lenturan tulen. Dua channel dihimpunkan berkembar dan diperketatkan dengan bolt untuk membentuk rasuk struktur bentuk-I. Satu siri ujian lenturan telah dijalankan ke atas spesimen rasuk DC200 dan DC250, dengan kedalaman 200 mm dan 250 mm masing-masing. Ketebalan keratan rasuk adalah 2 mm dan kekuatan reka bentuk adalah 350 N/mm2. Semua rasuk gagal pada momen kilasan sisi di bahagian atas bebibir akibat ketakstabilan sisi anggota keluli tergelek sejuk. Rintangan momen bagi DC200 adalah 17.87 kNm dan DC250 adalah 31.53 kNm. Keputusan eksperimen dibanding dengan ramalan teori yang berdasarkan British Standard dan Eurocodes. Perbandingan tersebut menunjukkan bahawa rintangan momen lenturan eksperimen adalah lebih rendah daripada ramalan teori momen lenturan tetapi lebih tinggi daripada ramalan teori momen rintangan kilasan sisi mengikut Eurocode. Ini menunjukkan bahawa persetujuan baik dicapai di antara keputusan eksperimen dengan ramalan teori Eurocode momen rintangan kilasan sisi bagi rasuk keluli tergelek sejuk.Downloads
