The cold-formed steel (CFS) structures are increasingly being utilized in various civil engineering applications such as railway coaches, transmission towers, bridges and towers. This work focuses on the numerical analysis of axially compressed CFS equal angle sections. To capture the complex behavior of these sections, a non-linear finite element (FE) model was developed using the ABAQUS. The FE model incorporated geometric imperfections and material non-linearity, enhancing its accuracy and reliability. To validate the FE model, published experimental test data were employed for comparison. The results show good agreement between the FE model and the experimental data, confirming the model’s effectiveness in capturing the behavior of axially compressed CFS equal angle sections. Additionally, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence of eccentricity on the strength of CFS equal angle sections. By varying this parameter within a range of values, the study aimed to identify their impact on the structural performance of the sections. The obtained data were analyzed, and a design curve was developed based on the results. This design curve serves as a valuable tool for preliminary designers, providing insights into the axial strength behavior of CFS equal angle sections under different eccentricity. .
