The principles of circular economy (CE) were well defined long ago, but adapting it to the
construction sector is a long-winded and complicated task as several stakeholders are …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) members are susceptible to geometric imperfections due to the
high length-to-thickness ratio of the flat partitions, in other words, high slenderness …

This paper presents the structural behavior of doubly-symmetric built-up cold-formed steel
(CFS) columns that fail in local-global (flexural-torsional) interactive buckling modes. The …

Structural behavior of Cold-formed Steel (CFS) face-to-face connected built-up closed cross-
section columns is investigated in the present study. The CFS built-up columns are designed …

An experimental investigation into the behavior of cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up column
assembly compressed between fixed ends is presented in this paper. The built-up column …

Initial geometric imperfections significantly affect the strength and stability of steel members.
The traditional modelling method only considers the amplitude of imperfection, which may …

The structural behavior of cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up beams that are gaining interest in
the construction industry is investigated in this study. As per the current American Iron and …

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 …

Geometric imperfections are one of the key factors that significantly affect the mechanical
behavior and performance of steel members. A new measurement method, ie, three …

A novel method for obtaining initial geometric imperfections by three-dimensional (3D) laser
scanning is developed to study a discovery of reducing initial geometric imperfections using …
