Abstract: A cold-formed steel framed shear wall may fail in shear buckling of the sheathing, local buckling or distortional buckling of the framing member under compression forces or connection failures. An unusual distortional ...

Abstract: The cold-formed steel framed shear wall sheathed with steel sheet sheathing (CFS-SSSW) is a code-approved lateral force resisting system for light-framed construction. The American Iron and Steel Institute provides design ...

Abstract: This paper addresses interacting manufacturing errors and their impact on the design robustness and constraint activity. Manufacturing errors often affect design variables with characteristic patterns. ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effect of longitudinal stress gradients on the elastic buckling of thin isotropic plates. Two types of thin plates are considered: (1) a plate simply supported on all four edges and rotationally ...

Abstract: Failure in cold-formed steel beams is generally initiated by one of three instabilities: local, distortional, or lateral-torsional buckling. For cold-formed steel joists, purlins, or girts, when the compression flange is ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study and numerical simulation analyzing the seismic performance of low- and midrise cold-formed steel-framed buildings using shear walls sheathed with corrugated steel sheets with slits. ...

Abstract: This note presents an experimental study of the bearing strength of cold-formed steel (CFS) bolted connections using oversized holes without washers. The test parameters include the sheet thickness, the connection type, ...

Abstract: This article presents pioneering and unprecedented work that has direct applications in improving the structural performance of cold-formed steel (CFS) buildings. The proposed product, space trusses made with cold-formed ...
