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 describes a full-scale natural fire test to investigate the collapse behaviour of a
single storey cold-formed steel (CFS) building, designed to behave in a specified way in a …

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the buckling behaviour of plasterboard
protected CFS channel-section beams subjected to uniformly distributed loads when …

Purpose Sigma cross-section profiles are often chosen for their lightness and ability to
support large spans, offering a favourable bending resistance. However, they are more …

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the buckling behaviour of plasterboard
protected CFS channel-section columns subjected to axial loading when exposed to fire on …

With increasing fire accidents in buildings, explosions on critical infrastructures
accompanied by increasing development in technology, manufacturing and construction …

This thesis describes a full-scale fire test and finite-element (FE) modelling carried out on a
cold-formed steel structure. The structure was collapsed with an inwards asymmetrical …

The use of cold-formed, thin-walled construction continues to grow owing to their many
advantages including high strength to weight ratio, flexibility of manufacture, fast and easy …

A unified probability function, called Persian Probability Function, is proposed as a
replacement for all probability functions proposed up to this end in the literature. Since the …

Beginning of the first decade of the present century triggered the interest of our research
group toward analysis of changed systems under the notion of investigation of the natural …
