Student Activity: Toward a More Sustainable Campus through Innovative Design and Practical Application
Mr. Diyari Burhan Hussein, a lecturer and researcher in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Cihan University Sulaimaniya, has recently contributed a pioneering research article to one of the world’s foremost scientific journals in the field of structural engineering. The article, titled “Effects of Lip Length and Inside Radius-to-Thickness Ratio on Buckling Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel C-Sections,” addresses a critical aspect of cold-formed steel (CFS) sections, which have garnered significant attention in construction due to their numerous advantages, including a high strength-to-weight ratio, shape flexibility, long span availability, portability, cost-effectiveness, and design versatility. However, the thin nature of CFS members renders them susceptible to various forms of buckling.
This study focuses on mitigating different types of buckling in columns and beams by manipulating two key parameters: lip length (d) and the ratio of inside radius to thickness (Ri/t) in CFS C-sections. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive analysis involving 176 models was conducted using the Finite Element Method (FEM).
The research is featured in The International Journal of Buildings (MDPI), a publication renowned for its academic excellence. With an Impact Factor of 3.8 and a Cite Score of 3.1, the journal holds a prominent position in scholarly publications. Furthermore, it is indexed in reputable databases such as the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Scopus Q1, and Web of Science by Clarivate Analytics.
