Cold-formed steel structures are steel structural products that are made by bending flat
sheets of steel at ambient temperature into shapes which will support more than the flat …

Abstract Lightweight Steel Frames (LSF) made by framing thin gauge cold-formed steel
(CFS) into different structural elements such as walls, trusses and joists are commonplace in …

This paper aims at investigating the structural response and predicting the ultimate strength
of the cold-formed built-up I-section columns affected by local, distortional, global and in …

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 …

The structural behavior of cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up beams that are gaining interest in
the construction industry is investigated in this study. As per the current American Iron and …

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 …

A detailed experimental investigation of the axial performance of sixteen full-scale cold-
formed steel (CFS) walls is presented. The impact of various parameters, such as sheathing …

This paper presents the results of eight tests on loaded full-scale cold-formed thin-walled
steel structural panels, two tests at ambient temperature and six exposed to the standard fire …

Gypsum plasterboard is a common lining material used in cold-formed steel wall frame
systems. It is used either with lipped or unlipped (plain) C-section studs in the construction of …

This research aims to identify and characterize the behavior of dissimilarly sheathed, load
bearing, cold-formed steel studs under axial and lateral load. A series of tests on single …
