The use of concrete slab in cold-formed steel (CFS) beams can not only increase the
ultimate resistance, but also can prevent their lateral buckling. Since the formation of …

Composite beams comprised of steel sections and concrete slabs, are one of the most
widely used beams due to their advantages such as improving stiffness and strength …

In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence-based methods in engineering problems has
been expanded. In the current study, the method of artificial neural networks (ANN) has …

This study proposed a novel GFRP-profiled steel sheeting composite sandwich beam
(GPSS beam) composed of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) skins, a lightweight …

Pull-out failures are one of the common failures in load bearing cold-formed steel clip angles
causing catastrophic damages, where plate and screw fastener are dislocated. Thus, a …

Since few studies have focused on the shear connectors in the composite cold-formed steel
beams so far, this paper studies the behavior of the U-shaped shear connectors which can …

In this paper, the seismic performance of cold formed steel shear walls sheathed by fiber
cement boards (FCB) is investigated. Of particular interest is the seismic response …

This paper reports findings of an experimental study on floor trusses fabricated from cold-
formed steel lipped channel sections. In design, the members of these trusses are generally …

The flexural behaviour of circular concrete filled stainless steel tubular trusses is presented
in this paper. A total of four specimens were tested, including three circular concrete filled …

Cold-formed steel composite beams are known for their unique advantages, like being
lightweight and ease of installation. The use of profiled steel sheeting in cold-formed …
