This study evaluated the axial capacity of cold-formed racking upright sections strengthened with an innovative reinforcement method by finite element modelling and artificial …
This study presents a novel machine-learning model using the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) tool, for assessing the web crippling behaviour of perforated roll-formed …
Cold-formed steel (CFS) portal frames are gaining increased popularity around the world. The structural performance of these frames is to a large extent controlled by the CFS beam …
Typical thin-walled cold-formed steel (CFS) elements and connections used in portal frames are not generally suitable for moment-resisting frames in high seismic regions due to their …
New product development is crucial to advance innovation in the cold-formed steel structural industry. Design of cold-formed steel structures usually requires physical testing, but it may …
Cold-formed steel (CFS) moment connections are often formed by bolting the webs of the connecting elements to a stiffened gusset plate, and local buckling of the web adjacent to …
The objective of this study is to advance a solution scheme that can produce a family of optimized thin-walled cold-formed steel lipped-channel sections under combined …
Flexibility in the manufacturing of cold-formed steel (CFS) cross-sectional shapes provides a unique opportunity to improve the load-carrying capacity of these elements, leading to more …
