Abstract
This report details the work performed under a research grant funded by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) entitled “Test Verification of the Effect of Stress Gradient on Webs of Cee and Zee Sections.” The project evolved in response to the inconclusive nature of existing test data on Cees and Zees in bending and the need for a set of simple repeatable tests on industry standard sections that account for typical details in current practice and provide the actual bending capacity in local buckling. Findings and recommendations from the research follow.
