Abstract: It has been recognized that the mechanical properties of sheet steels and the structural strength of cold-formed steel members can be influenced by strain rate. For studying the local and postbuckling behavior of stiffened ...

Abstract: In recent years, probability‐based load‐and‐resistance‐factor‐design (LRFD) method has been successfully applied to the design of hot‐rolled steel sections and cold‐formed steel members in the United States and foreign ...

Abstract: In the design of steel buildings, the allowable stress design (ASD) method has long been used for cold‐formed steel structural members in the United States. Recently, the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) criteria ...
