Abstract: A series of 18 large-scale tests was carried out on corrugated cold-formed steel deck diaphragms for single-story buildings to investigate the diaphragm’s ability to function as the main source for absorbing earthquake ...

Abstract: The block shear strengths of simple cold-formed steel bolted connections for members in tension have been thoroughly investigated, whereas the combined effects of shear rotation on the strengths of beam-end bolted connections ...

Abstract: Two test series were carried out on angle cleat connections between cold-formed channels as beams and rectangular hollow sections as support members. The objective of the tests was to determine the effect of connection ...
