Built-up sections are commonly used in cold-formed steel (CFS) structures. The built-up
sections are either welded or mechanically fastened based on the need and necessity …

In this paper, the seismic performance of cold-formed thin-walled steel walls with diagonal
braces is studied by means of experiments and finite element analysis. In total, horizontal …

This paper presents a new demountable and modular light-gauge steel framed (DMLSF)
wallboard, which is composed of two C-shaped steel frames, one insulation frame fabricated …

In this study, we investigated six full-scale, steel-sheathed, cold-formed steel shear walls
(CFS-SWs), three of which were CFS-SWs with reinforced end columns (CFS-SW-Rs), under …

Abstract Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) is considered as a sustainable material and CFS
members are becoming popular nowadays as primary or secondary load carrying structural …

This paper proposes damage index–based limit-state criteria for seismic design of midrise
cold-formed steel (CFS) buildings instead of the drift-based ones, and the Park-Ang damage …

This paper investigates the bracing effect of sheathing fastener connection on point-
symmetric shaped cold formed steel (CFS) studs through full-scale laboratory tests. The test …

An experimental study was conducted to explore the strength contribution of plywood
sheathing boards that are regularly used in the cold-formed steel (CFS) wall panel …

This paper presents a new design procedure for considering the bracing effect of sheathing
boards that are attached to the cold-formed steel (CFS) structural members. The previous …

The cold-formed steel (CFS) wall frames need to be stiff-strong to inhibit the instability
failures. The current design specifications do not have a robust design method for sheathed …
