This paper focuses on the development of simple models for describing the influence of initial out-of-plane imperfections on the post-buckling strength of square uniformly compressed plates without stiffeners. This is the first step in gaining a better understanding of the behavior of compression flanges of cold-formed steel members, necessary for the development of new, accurate and insight providing design rules for first and second generation trapezoidal profiled sheeting, subjected to the combined action of a concentrated load (support reaction) and a bending moment.
