Abstract
The research work on cold-formed tubular structures carried out in Australia in the last 15 years are presented. The outcome of the research has allowed the design rules for cold-formed tubular members and connections of Grade C350 (350 MPa) and C450 (450 MPa) including those with a thickness less than 3 mm to be incorporated in the Australian Standard for Steel Structures AS4100-1990 including recent amendments, and the Design Capacity Tables for Structural Steel Hollow Sections published by the Australian Institute of Steel Construction. These new design rules significantly extend the scope of the existing standard and provide more efficient designs.
