This paper is based on an investigation into the performance of cold-formed C-channels stiffened with cover plates and subjected to pure bending and primarily shear condition tests. Cover plates with three different thicknesses (1.6, 2 and 2.4 mm) were installed at top flanges only as it would be th...
