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 …

The bracing effect of Particle Cement Board (PCB) sheathing for the Cold-formed steel
(CFS) wall stud is explored in this study. Owing to the higher slenderness, the CFS wall stud …

A comprehensive test program was performed to experimentally investigate the effect of
CFRP strengthening on the axial strength and stability of CFS plain angle short columns …

This paper presents experimental results of steel beams strengthened with low-density and
low-modulus CFRP fabrics, with the objective of,(i) checking the capability of the fabric type …

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 …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) in construction delivers cost effectiveness and design flexibility. The
instability failures of CFS Structural members significantly influences the failures of …

Welded steel joints in structures are susceptible to fatigue failure. In this context, advanced
carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) possess a demonstrated potential for the fatigue …

A four-point bending test was carried out to examine the feasibility of using cold-formed steel
(CFS) channel for retrofitting of open hot rolled steel (HRS) channels. The retrofitting …

Upgrading the flexural design strength of the structural member for increased live load
without disrupting the functionality of the structure is an arduous task. One such problem was …

Externally bonding through adhesive is a widely utilized method for FRP-strengthened
substrates. However, the impact of early-age adhesive curing duration on the mechanical …
