RISUltimate Shear Capacity of the Cold-Formed Steel Torsionally Restrained Beam-to-Column Moment Connection with a Three-Bolted Clip Angle and Flange Cleat
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the current research work, the shear capacity of the cold-formed steel (CFS) three-bolted clip angle (CA) beam-to-column moment connection (3BM) is investigated with 45 laboratory test results. The 3BM connection comprises ...
Improvements in AISI Design Methods for Gypsum-Sheathed Cold-Formed Steel Wall Panels Subjected to Bending
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this investigation is to develop design rules for gypsum-sheathed cold-formed steel (CFS) members subjected to bending (out-of-plane). The parameters studied include the slenderness of the CFS stud and ...
Influence of Sheathing-Fastener Connection Stiffness on the Design Strength of Cold-Formed Steel Wall Panels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the bracing effect of sheathing fastener connection on point-symmetric shaped cold formed steel (CFS) studs through full-scale laboratory tests. The test parameters include slenderness of the CFS ...
Performance of CFS Beam-to-Beam Bolted Connection Using Clip Angle and Flange Strip: Experimental Investigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the strength, load versus deflection, and load versus rotation behavior of cold-formed steel (CFS) beam-to-beam connections using a combination of clip angle and flange ...
Strengthening of Laterally Restrained Steel Beams Subjected to Flexural Loading Using Low-Modulus CFRP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Upgrading the flexural design strength of the structural member for increased live load without disrupting the functionality of the structure is an arduous task. One such problem was investigated in this study by using ...

Criteria for Selection of Sheathing Boards in Cold-Formed Steel Wall Panels Subjected to Bending: Construction Applications and Performance-Based Evaluation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Globally, cold-formed steel (CFS) construction is gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional methods of construction. However, there is a need for robust design specifications for each structural component and ...
Proposal to Improve AISI S100 DSM Design Standards for Cold-Formed Steel Built-Up Closed Cross-Section Columns Subjected to Local–Global Interaction Buckling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an improved design approach based on the direct strength method (DSM) in American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) design specification S100 for cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up closed cross-section ...
Direct Stiffness–Strength Method: An Alternative Design Approach to AISI for Sheathed Cold-Formed Steel Z-Section Structural Members Subjected to Bending
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a design approach, the direct stiffness–strength method (DSSM), for the strength prediction of sheathed cold-formed steel (CFS) structural members. The DSSM considers each sheathing–fastener connection ...
Theoretical Evaluation of Flange Local Buckling for Horizontally Curved I-Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Curvature greatly complicates the behavior of horizontally curved steel plate girders used in bridge superstructures. The warping stress gradient across the width of I-girder flange plates reduces the vertical bending ...
