Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study and numerical simulation analyzing the seismic performance of low- and midrise cold-formed steel-framed buildings using shear walls sheathed with corrugated steel sheets with slits. ...

Abstract: This study developed a special energy dissipation X-bracing for cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls to improve the ductility of the corrugated steel sheathing. In previous research, CFS shear walls with corrugated sheathing ...

Abstract: The paper presents experimental and numerical investigation of cold-formed steel (CFS)–framed walls sheathed with corrugated steel sheets. The new wall technology is considered as an alternative shear wall configuration ...

Abstract: Thin-walled cold-formed steel (CFS) clip angles are commonly used to connect CFS framing members or attach CFS members to the main building structure. The design provisions for CFS clip angle connectors have not been ...

Abstract: Cold-formed steel shear wall with corrugated sheet steel sheathing is a newly proposed lateral force resisting system from recent research work. The advantages of noncombustibility, high shear strength and high shear ...

Abstract: For a specific multiobjective tunnel alignment design problem, engineers have difficulty finding a suitable solution to satisfy a set of preference criteria. This paper presents a biobjective optimization approach incorporating ...
