Flow chart: Calculation of effective section properties for coldformed steel lipped channel sections under compression or bending
This flow chart deals with the calculation of effective section properties of a lipped channel section subjected to compression or major axis bending according with general procedure.
For practical design of light gauge sections to EN1993, designers will normally use software or refer to manufacturers' data. This flow chart presents the details of the calculation procedures, for background information purposes.

Effective section properties of the flange and lip in compression General (iterative) procedure
For the initial evaluation, it is assumed that the flange in compression is double supported (K= ) and that the design strength is not reduced ( com, Ed fyb/ M0) EN1993-1-3 5.5.3.2(3) Step 1: Determine the effective cross-section for the stiffener using effective width of flange
