Abstract
Cold Formed Steel Section is generally light gauge steel. The cold formed steel sections are widely used in structure because of its economy, ease of fabrication and its material availability. Fabrication and experimental setup is made to find load carrying capacity of section. For the test, length of member taken as 0.5m and thickness kept as 1.6mm of the section. For finite element analysis Abaqus Software is used. For software validation test is carried out on Universal testing machine.
