Cold-formed steel channel sections have been widely applied in structural buildings. This type of section is then added stiffeners in the web to form the new section called SupaCee. The capacities of these sections have been investigated due to shear actions paralleling their webs. Shear forces are assumed to be resisted by the web, but the presence of the flanges and lips also have specific impacts on the shear capacities of these sections. This paper, therefore, investigates the effects of the flange widths and lip lengths on the shear capacities of the channel and SupaCee sections. Also, the shear capacities of SupaCee sections are studied to illustrate their strength improvements compared to those of channel sections. Shear capacities of the investigated sections are determined according to AS/NZS 4600:2018. The study demonstrated the innovation of SupaCee sections in shear strength improvements in comparison with those of channel sections.
