Abstract Lightweight Steel Frames (LSF) made by framing thin gauge cold-formed steel
(CFS) into different structural elements such as walls, trusses and joists are commonplace in …

The recently performed experimental study indicates that the current Japanese steel design
standards (AIJ) cannot be used to predict accurately the ultimate behavior of bolted …

The authors have recently described a cold-formed steel portal framing system in which
simple bolted moment-connections, formed through brackets, were used for the eaves and …

The three-dimensional (3D) elasto-plastic finite element method is used to study the
structural behavior of the butt-type steel bolted joint. The numerical results are compared …

Portal frame structures, made up of cold-formed steel (CFS) trusses, are increasingly being
used for lightweight building construction. There are different types of connectors available …

This paper is concerned about the lateral load response and associated working
mechanism of a precast reinforced concrete shear wall involving horizontal connections. An …

Screws are commonly used as connectors in cold-formed steel structures as they can be
drilled easily through thin sheet steels, allowing on-site assembly. However, in a connection …

Cold formed steel structures are structural products that are made by forming plane sheets of
steel at an ambient temperature into different shapes that can be used to convince structural …

Recommended procedures of finite element modeling for predicting the structural behaviors
of single shear bolted connections in cold-formed austenitic stainless steel are presented in …

Cold formed steel (CFS) built-up members are increasingly used in buildings because of
their better mechanical performance. In this paper, the elastic buckling behaviors of the …
