Abstract
The enclosed research report has been prepared for the AISI as supporting material for proposed additions to the AISI Specification (AISI-S100-07) with respect to inelastic bending of cold- formed steel flexural members. In particular, an extension to the Direct Strength Method of Appendix 1 of AISI-S100-07 is proposed which allows for design capacities to exceed My (and approach Mp) as a function of the slenderness in the local-global or distortional modes.
