Abstract: An experimental investigation of 12 screw-fastened back-to-back built-up aluminum alloy slender columns under axial compression is presented, complemented by a numerical finite element study comprising 246 results. Using ...

Abstract: Prefabricated construction has proven sustainability and affordability through innovative solutions. Prefabricated housebuilding companies, as supply entities, play a vital role toward successful projects using prefabricated ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the axial-compression capacity of cold-formed steel (CFS) equal angle sections with complex edge stiffeners. Both experimental and numerical analyses were carried out. In total, 10 tests were carried ...

Abstract: In this paper, a total of 254 results comprising 30 shear tests and 224 finite element (FE) analysis results are reported. Simply supported test specimens of cold-formed steel (CFS) channels with aspect ratios of 1.0 and ...

Abstract: The use of cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up sections for portal frames is gaining popularity due to their ability to provide sustainable solutions and more optimized section design opportunities. This paper presents an ...
