Abstract
Cold formed steel sections are widely used in civil engineering field due to advances in construction. There are several applications of these cold formed steel sections such as in metal building construction, roof trusses, and purlins. In case of cold formed steel beams distortional buckling in compression flange and lateral torsional buckling in web are dominant modes of failure. So, to overcome these problem intermediate stiffeners can be used in cold formed beams. An experimental investigation was carried out on cold formed I beam without intermediate stiffener and with intermediate flange stiffener. Several four point bending test were carried out on 1000 kN capacity universal testing machine in order to assess mainly failure loads and failure pattern of beam. The experimental results are also verified by using finite element analysis based software ANSYS. The results obtained are in good agreement with the experimental results
