Cold-formed steel (CFS) has emerged as a prominent choice for structural components and sections in the construction industry [...]

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...

Unprotected steel and structures exposed to the atmosphere inevitably corrode. For thin-gauged especially, corrosion is critical for stability. Although reduction in thickness caused by insignificant some structures, other unacceptable. Therefore, protection a crucial issue industry. Over last decades, many new systems innovative products have been introduced onto market. Corrosion cold-formed ...

To study the cold-forming effect on yield strength distribution of cold-formed thick-walled steel, material tensile tests and axial compression were conducted steel-lipped channels. undertake tests, five types lipped channel sections with varied thicknesses nominal strengths selected. The test samples taken from web, flange, curled edge, corner sections, respectively. Next, a corresponding mode...
