In order to extend the utilization of bamboo as a green building material, a new type of
lightweight I-section bamboo–steel composite beam consisted of two pieces of cold-formed …

This paper presents an experimental study of cold formed steel frames sheathed by fibre-
cement boards (FCB) under cyclic lateral loading. Four full scale fibre-cement shear walls …

The ever-increasing need for housing generated the search for new and innovative building
methods to increase speed and efficiency and enhance quality. One method is the use of …

This paper presents a non-linear finite element analyses in order to investigate the seismic
performances of steel sheathed cold formed shear walls. The numerical models presented …

Cyclic loading tests were performed on framed stud walls with strap brace and steel
sheathing. Each stud panel was strengthened with either the conventional straps or steel …
