The effective width of cold-formed steel sections is given by . b) be/b = (fcr/fy). c) be/b = (fy/fcr). d) be/b = (fcr/fy).

The effective width of cold-formed steel sections is given by . b) be/b = (fcr/fy). c) be/b = (fy/fcr). d) be/b = (fcr/fy). Correct Answer be/b = (fcr/fy).

The effective width based on tests on cold-formed steel sections is given by be/b = (fcr/fy). This formula was first adopted in AISC specification for light gauge cold-formed sections.
