Many structural members, for example, cold-formed steel members, hot-rolled steel members, and composite beams were extensively used in steel construction due to economic development in cities building design. This was to allow flexible installation of ductwork, piping and other systems. Substantial research has been performed on Channel and Zee cold-formed steel sections, but the papers on Hat section steel purlins turned out to be few only, especially Hat-purlin with perforations. Hence, numerical study on cold-formed Hat section steel purlin with perforation was carried out to investigate the effect of perforation to bending behaviour of such sections. Finite element method using LUSAS software was chosen to carry out the research study. Five different perforation shapes were selected, which were circle, diamond, C-hexagon, square and elongated circle. Perforation depth was fixed at 0.5D2, where D2 is the inclined web depth of the section. The results showed that perforated section had lower bending moment than that of the section without perforation, with a percentage difference of not more than 4%. Most of the perforated sections had similar bending characteristic despite of the difference in perforation shapes, where the yield moment difference was less than 2%. Critical opening length played a crucial role in affecting the bending behaviour of section. Furthermore, the location of perforation also influenced the bending behaviour of Hat-purlin. Regardless of perforation spacing, the perforated sections with equal number of perforations behaved similar elastic characteristic before yielding. Section with diamond perforation had higher bending moment than other perforated section whereas section with elongated circle perforation had the lowest bending moment. The presence of perforations gives minor effect on the bending behaviour of cold-formed steel Hat-purlin.
