High-strength steels (HSS) are produced using special chemical composition or/and
manufacturing processes. Both aspects affect their mechanical properties at elevated …

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 interior-one-flange web crippling strength of cold-formed steel
channels at elevated temperatures. The stress-strain curves of G250 and G450 grade cold …

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 …

Abstract Light Gauge Steel Framing (LSF) walls are made of cold-formed, thin-walled steel
lipped channel studs with plasterboard linings on both sides. However, these thin-walled …

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 has presented the details of an investigation into the flexural and flexural–fl
buckling behaviour of cold-formed structural steel columns with pinned and fixed ends …

Fire safety has become an important part in structural design due to the ever increasing loss
of properties and lives during fires. Conventionally the fire rating of load bearing wall …

This article reports a series of flexural tests at ambient and fire conditions on simply
supported cold-formed steel beams made of one or two sigma-shaped profiles. It was …

Although the use of longitudinal stiffeners in cold-formed steel members in compression is
known to increase their ultimate strength at ambient temperatures, it is expected that the …
