Currently I am working on the numerical analysis of back to back placed cold formed channel sections with different cfrp wrapping configuration. How can I validate the shear analysis of my numerical models according to the current codes?
Numerical models can be used to validate the numerical results of back-to-back cold-formed channel sections. For example, the ABAQUS finite element modeling program can be used to develop models that determine the axial strength of cold-formed steel (CFS) back-to-back (BTB) channel sections. The program can also be used to predict the monotonic axial performance of built-up CFS battened columns.
