Designing structures to withstand the effects of fire is challenging, and requires a series of
complex design decisions. This third edition of Fire Safety Engineering Design of Structures …

Performance-based fire design for cold-formed steel systems is in its infancy. This paper
brings together existing research on cold-formed steel materials, members, and …

Abstract Light Steel Frame (LSF) walls are widely used in building structures, used as
partition walls and load bearing walls. The LSF is usually protected by layers of …

This paper presents a study on the global buckling load of the cold-formed steel built-up box-
shape columns (CFS-BBC) at ambient and elevated temperatures. The energy method was …

A half open cross section built-up column, namely cold-formed thin-walled steel built-up
column with 12-limbsection (CTSBC-12) is put forward. To deeply reveal the mechanical …

The aim of this paper is to report an ongoing shell finite element investigation on the
distortional post-buckling behaviour, ultimate strength and DSM design of cold-formed steel …

Fire performance of plasterboard lined Light-gauge Steel Framed (LSF) walls has been
investigated using numerical and experimental studies in the past. However, past research …

This book is an authoritative account of the latest developments in fire performance and fire
resistant design of thin-walled steel structures. It provides a comprehensive review of recent …

This paper aims at investigating the structural behaviour, strength and Direct Strength
Method (DSM) design of cold-formed steel columns failing in distortional modes at elevated …

A fire in a storage warehouse creates a scenario that the load bearing members, notably
storage rack uprights, are exposed to localised fires, generating the temperature field whose …
