Cold-formed steel (CFS) structures typically rely on diagonally braced stud walls to
withstand lateral forces. While the response of CFS single-wall panels has been extensively …

Strap-braced stud walls are one of the primary lateral-force resisting systems for
conventional cold-formed steel (CFS) buildings. While CFS wall-panels in general exhibit a …

The use of cold-formed steel (CFS) systems has significantly increased in the past few
decades, especially in the construction of low to mid-rise buildings. Compared to hot-rolled …

This study is an effort to clearly recognize the seismic damages occurred in strap-braced
cold formed steel frames. In order to serve this purpose, a detailed investigation was …

The search for innovative methods to ensure high structural, technological, and
environmental performance is an important issue in the development of new construction …

While cold-formed steel structures have been extensively studied for seismic-resistant
construction, existing regulations, and implementation guidelines do not comprehensively …

Provisions that address the seismic design of cold-formed steel frame strap braced walls are
