Unavoidable geometric imperfections complicate the load–displacement response of thin-
walled cold-formed steel (CFS) structural members. While the inclusion of geometric …

Twenty years ago, the Direct Strength Method (DSM) was first proposed as an efficient
alternative to traditional design methods for thin-walled cold-formed steel (CFS) structural …

This paper reports on experiments addressing the buckling and collapse behavior of
common built-up cold-formed steel (CFS) columns. The built-up column consists of two …

The use of light-gauge steel framed (LSF) wall systems in low-and mid-rise buildings has
increased due to the fast and clean construction and robust structural performance. Cold …

The objective of this paper is to present procedures for processing three-dimensional point
clouds that are generated from laser-based scanning of a cold-formed steel member into …

In this paper, the structural strength and stability of cold-formed steel lipped channel beam-
columns under bi-axial moments and axial force are experimentally investigated. The results …

In current design standards, cold-formed steel (CFS) beam-column elements are generally
designed by considering fully warping free behaviour in their supports, which means the …

An innovative concept, whereby the load-carrying capacity and serviceability performance of
cold-formed steel beams are enhanced by utilising prestressing techniques, is presented …

To determine the load-bearing capacity of cold-formed steel (CFS) beam–column members,
closed formed interaction formulas are generally used in most current design guidelines by …

The direct strength method of cold-formed steel member design uses local, distortional, and
global cross-section elastic buckling analysis with empirically derived direct expressions to …
