英文摘要：

A research was performed on the numerical simulation and design of cold - formed steel oval hollow section compression members to investigate the applicability of existing design specification to the new section. A non-linear finite element model was developed using Abaqus. The numerical results were compared with the test results and it is shown that the numerical model accurately predicted the structural behavior of the com- pression members. Parametric study was performed using the verified model including 100 members with dif- ferent cross - section dimensions and lengths. The test and numerical strengths were compared with the design strengths calculated using the current Chinese Code and direct strength method, which is included by the North American Specification for cold - formed steel structures. It is shown that the direct strength method can be used for the design of cold - formed steel oval hollow section members under axial compression.
