A design equation has been developed to determine the ultimate load capacity of perforated cold-formed steel channel stub columns. The equation is based on extensive parametric studies carried out using finite element modelling. The accuracy of the proposed design equation is established by comparison with a number of experimental and finite element results reported by other researchers.
