In recent years, cold-formed steel has been widely used in prefabricated steel structures, and the common cross-section forms are mainly complex lipped angle sections. However, there is a lack of design guidance for such a cross-section due to the complex geometric property. The restraint between adjacent plates cannot be considered proper for the traditional analytical method. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the stability bearing capacity of angle sections with complex edges under axial compression. In this paper, the finite strip software (CUFSM5) was used to analyze the critical stress of 1296 different angle sections under axial compression. The deformation diagram and the critical stress of elastic buckling were obtained. Considering the restraint between adjacent plates, the formula for predicting the critical stress of elastic local buckling of complex lipped angle sections was proposed and verified. Further, the critical stress of elastic distortional buckling of 918 complex lipped angle sections was analyzed by CUFSM. It was found that the cross-sections can be divided into two categories: cross-section without distortional point and cross-section with distortional point. It was found that the critical stress of elastic local buckling of the angle steel section can be significantly improved by the complex edge. Additionally, the critical stress of elastic local buckling of the section is less affected by the edge size for the complex edge section. The accuracy of the Hancock method for calculating the critical stress of elastic distortional buckling of complex lipped angle sections with distortional points was verified. The presented research can provide useful guidelines for designing cold-formed steel angle columns.
