This paper investigated the effects of normal and reinforced beam–column joints on seismic
behavior and damages of mid-rise cold-formed steel (CFS) framed buildings, where the …

Structural vulnerability theory (SVT) is a method that identifying the weakness and potential
collapse modes of building structures in the finite element (FE) aspect, and the determinant …

The Cold-formed steel (CFS) light frame shear wall is the most important lateral force-
resisting element in CFS building systems. Extensive researches have been completed on …

One of the disadvantages of the reduced beam section (RBS) connection is the possibility of
lateral-torsional buckling in the beam. Based on previous researches, reducing the cross …

This study evaluates an innovative reinforcement method for cold-formed steel (CFS) upright
sections through finite element assessment as well as prediction of the normalized ultimate …

This paper investigates the performance of gypsum sheathed cold-formed steel (CFS) shear
wall panels under combined action of lateral and gravity loading. The influence of gravity …

The cracking of screw connections at the corners of wallboards is a typical failure mode for
cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls, resulting in premature performance degradation of CFS …

Cracking damage of screw connections and buckling of end studs always resulted in
performance degradation of cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls. To improve the seismic …

This paper presents the details and application of a newly developed variably oriented
spring pair element (VOSPE) model and the Bouc-wen-Baber-Noori (BWBN) constitutive …

To account for the higher structural ductility requirement and higher load-bearing capacity
and stability requirements of floor-to-wall connections of mid-rise cold-formed steel (CFS) …
