This paper proposes damage index–based limit-state criteria for seismic design of midrise
cold-formed steel (CFS) buildings instead of the drift-based ones, and the Park-Ang damage …

In view of the increasing application of mid-rise modular box buildings, theoretical and
numerical research of multi-story modular box buildings are necessary. The research …

As part of a research on structural response of modular buildings and assemblages, this
experimental study investigates the effects of gypsum sheathed light-gauge steel stud walls …

CFS structures are classified as structures with low ductility. Due to this, they are not
recommended for medium to high seismic areas. The paper presents the results of a …

The main difference between the structural design of corner-supported modular buildings
with their conventional counterparts lies in the design of their connections. This is because …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) regulations follow capacity-based design approach to ensure that
the strap braces act as a ductile element in a seismic force-resisting system. In this paper …

The past research on cold-formed steel (CFS) flexural members have proved that
rectangular hollow flanged sections perform better than conventional I-sections due to their …

Built-up members are efficient in developing adequate resistance against large load
demands, and their efficiency largely depends on how adequately the built-up sections are …

Hybrid cold-formed steel (CFS) wall panel, composed of square hollow sections (SHS) and
CFS open sections, can offer some great advantages with respect to the lateral performance …

The moment-rotation characteristic of a baseplate connection in cold-formed steel rack
systems significantly depends on the floor anchoring arrangement and the axial …
