The improvement of the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar thermal energy,
and the reduction of energy demand during the several stages of buildings' life cycle is …

This article reviews research on cold-formed steel structures published in 2013 and 2014 in
three leading journals: the Journal of Structural Engineering, ASCE, Thin-Walled Structures …

Concrete-filled composite columns are widely used in the construction industry, exploiting
the benefits of combining steel and concrete, providing, for instance, high load-bearing …

There are numerous parameters that influence the behavior of built-up steel columns. This
paper reports an experimental investigation carried out on cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up …

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 paper presents a new and accurate finite element contact-modeling approach, to
predict the axial compressive behaviour of bare cold-formed steel (CFS) lipped-channel …

In a climate such as the southern European, heavyweight buildings have been associated
with improved indoor comfort conditions. The heavyweight reinforced concrete and brick …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) construction offers several benefits over traditional construction,
including being lightweight, sustainable, recyclable, quick to build, insect and rot-resistant …

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 …

Abstract Current North American Specification AISI S100-16 provides design formulae to
predict the yield strength of cold-formed steels. These design formulae were proposed on …
