The concept of cold‐formed light steel framing construction has been widespread after
understanding its structural characteristics with massive research works over the years …

Thin-walled cold-formed steel (CFS) structures are widely used in low-storey buildings and
are seeing increased applications in multi-storey buildings as well as long-span structures …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the use of thin-walled cold-formed
steel (CFS) sections as energy dissipative elements for earthquake resistant moment frame …

The development of thin-walled cold-formed steel (CFS) sections as energy dissipative
elements for seismic moment-resisting multi-storey frame buildings is presented through FE …

The treatment of cold-formed steel sections in design codes is very largely restricted to
individual members under ideal conditions. More efficient design is possible if the …

This paper presents an investigation on the potential use of cold-formed steel sections (CFS
sections) in moment-resisting frames (MRFs) for seismic applications. The main limitation of …

The concept of cold-formed light steel (CFS) framing construction has been widespread after
understanding its structural behavior and characteristics through massive research works …

The plain Z-section is one of the most common cold-formed steel purlins in use for roof
systems. Its lapping ability provides continuity, and double thickness material at the support …

This paper presents an analysis and design method for lapped connections between cold-
formed steel Z sections after careful calibration against test data obtained from a total of 26 …

Cold-formed steel elements are being used more frequently on construction sites because of
the good strength-to-cost ratio. Researches on such structures show that, in most cases, the …
