SupaCee represents an innovative form of the channel section, achieved by incorporating stiffeners into the web, which has been shown to enhance stability and increase the sectional capacities. In theoretical calculations, various shear theories for cold-formed sections have been proposed. Traditionally, shear force was considered to be resisted solely by the web, and intermediate web stiffeners often excluded from design considerations. Recent advancements of a new design method namely The Direct Strength Method for cold-formed steel structures have addressed these issues. Incorporating these intermediate stiffeners is believed to improve the shear capacity of the channel section. This paper aims to assess the shear capacities of SupaCee sections by comparing such capacities with those of traditional channel sections. The sections for analysis are selected from commercially available options. The capacities of both SupaCee and channel sections are calculated according to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 4600-2018. The results will provide insights into the effectiveness of SupaCee sections in enhancing shear strengths compared to those of traditional channel sections.
