In this numerical study, three dimensional analyses were carried out using finite element method to evaluate the plastic behavior of RHS cold-formed steel beams, particularly focus on the plastic hinge formation. Commercial software, ABAQUS/CAE is used for modelling. Cold-formed Rectangular Hollow S...
