Abstract

The main purpose of the research is to develop formulations for estimating the Elastic distortional buckling stress (EDBS) of cold-formed steel member under compressive loading using Genetic programming (GP) which has not been applied so far. The required data used for the training and testing is collected from the literature. Two GP-based formulations are proposed to predict the elastic distortional buckling of cold formed steel C sections. The results of proposed GP formulations are compared with experimental and analytical results of different researchers and methods and found to be accurate. The results obtained from the formulas have shown that GP is a promising technique for predicting EDBS of cold-formed steel C sections.
