Cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls are the primary lateral load resisting components in
lightweight steel framed (LSF) structures. The development of increasing complex LSF …

Fires involving the facade of a building are a modern and complex problem. Previous
reviews on fire safety of facades have addressed flammability and fire spread, but these are …

Cold-formed steel members are widely used in residential, industrial and commercial
buildings as primary load-bearing elements. During fire events, they will be exposed to …

Light gauge steel-framed (LSF) walls, commonly made with lipped channel studs and
gypsum plasterboard sheathing, are increasingly being used in low to mid-rise buildings …

Abstract Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) have high potential to be adopted in future
innovative infrastructure. However, the material properties of AHSS at elevated temperature …

Light gauge steel frame (LSF) walls are commonly used in single and two storey residential
and commercial buildings and modular based mid-rise building construction. They are lined …

Most previous fire experiments of cold-formed steel (CFS) walls focused on ISO 834 fire. The
corresponding results may not represent the actual fire performance of CFS walls in some …

Cold-formed steel square and rectangular hollow section (SHS/RHS) studs are often used to
replace the conventional lipped channel section studs in light gauge steel frame (LSF) wall …

Gypsum plasterboards are used in Light-gauged Steel Framed (LSF) walls as the primary
fire-resistant material. In addition to thermal protection, they provide restraints to the cold …

Light gauge steel framed (LSF) walls are used in fire compartmentation to prevent the
spread of fire, smoke and toxic gases. The fire behavioural characteristics of non-load …
