The bearing capacity of cold-formed porous steel N90T20 rack column is studied, the eccentric positions, the spacing between holes, column thickness are discussed in details. The results obtained from this study demonstrate that when eccentric space is small, eccentric compression weaken column ultimate bearing capacity is small. From the results, it is clear that when eccentric space is large, eccentric compression can cause the column ultimate bearing capacity of plummeting. If the eccentricity is close proximity to the web, the ultimate bearing capacity declines to be smaller than the eccentric near the curling side of the column. The spacing of the holes on the column web do not present significant effect to the ultimate bearing capacity of the column. The wall thickness of column component greatly influence on the ultimate bearing capacity of the columns. This study makes contribution to the N90T20 rack design in the engineering practice and research areas.
