An experimental study on sheathed cold-formed steel C-lipped columns (studs) with service holes in the web subjected to compression and major axis bending is presented this paper. A total of 17 experiments was performed both oriented strand board (OSB) plasterboard used as sheathing material varying connector spacing employed between members. Material tests geometric imperfection measurements w...

Light steel frame (LSF) building systems offer high structural resilience, lower costs due to fast prefabrication, and ability recycle reuse. The main goal of this paper was provide state-of-the-art components for such with the intention be implemented use in nearly-zero energy buildings (NZEBs). A brief historical outline development LSF given, key parameters affecting design were discussed. i...

Concrete piles in ice-rich areas exist negative-temperature environments, which seriously affect the concrete’s strength. In order to maintain quality of concrete these areas, temperature during strength formation period needs be controlled. this paper, field pile body a test with double sheaths filled polyurethane insulation and one without were measured. The disturbance law base with/without ...

This paper provides an experimental analysis of timber-framed walls, coated with carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) strengthened fibre-plaster boards. The presented wall elements are usually used as main bearing capacity elements in the construction of prefabricated multi-level timber residential buildings. Since the tensile strength of fibre-plaster sheathing boards (FPB) is approximately...
