Abstract: The use of cold-formed steel (CFS) elements in residential and industrial buildings is widely gaining popularity due to their ability to provide cost-effective and sustainable solutions. A high degree of flexibility in the ...

Abstract: The research presented in this paper aimed to investigate local buckling failure occurring adjacent to moment-resisting bolted connections in cold-formed steel back-to-back channel beams connected to a gusset plate through ...

Abstract: Cold-formed steel (CFS) moment connections are often formed by bolting the webs of the connecting elements to a stiffened gusset plate, and local buckling of the web adjacent to the connection typically governs their ...

Abstract: This paper reports on an experimental investigation of the out-of-plane bending behavior and capacity of cold-formed steel (CFS) stud walls sheathed with wood-based boards [oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood] by means ...

Abstract: This study aims to develop optimized interaction equations for more efficient design of cold-formed steel (CFS) lipped channel beam-columns under combined compressive load and biaxial bending, aligned with the direct ...

Abstract: The load transfer mechanism in cold-formed steel (CFS) bolted moment connections is mainly through the bolt group in the web of beam elements, which may lead to relatively large bimoment and warping deformations. While the ...
