CFS members are more vulnerable to fire due to high section factor (fire-exposed area to the
heated volume). Hence, an extensive review of experimental and numerical studies …

This paper investigates the structural behaviour of cold-formed steel (CFS) back-to-back
(BTB) channel sections subjected to axial compression at elevated temperatures. The stress …

This paper presents a consistent nonlinear 3-D finite element approach, adopted by the
author over the last ten years, for analysing steel, cold-formed steel, stainless steel and …

Fire safety design of building structures has received greater attention in recent times due to
continuing loss of properties and lives during fires. However, fire performance of light gauge …

Cold-formed steel members have been widely used in residential and commercial buildings
as primary load bearing structural elements. They are often made of thin steel sheets and …

This paper presents a study on the global buckling load of the cold-formed steel built-up box-
shape columns (CFS-BBC) at ambient and elevated temperatures. The energy method was …

The aim of this paper is to report an ongoing shell finite element investigation on the
distortional post-buckling behaviour, ultimate strength and DSM design of cold-formed steel …

An experimental study on the fire behaviour of cold-formed steel lipped channel (C) and built-
up I (2C) slender columns with restrained thermal elongation is presented. The studied …

This research highlights the possibility of LD interaction in the built-up columns and provides
a detailed design procedure to account for the strength erosion due to LD interaction. For …

Abstract To apply the Direct Strength Method (DSM) to web crippling of lipped channel
sections, experiments were recently conducted under EOF and IOF loading conditions. In …
