In recent years, the use of steel light housing structural solutions made cold-formed thin-walled profiles (CFS) is becoming increasingly popular. Lightness, high efficiency, durability, rapidity and simplicity erection building its finishes are some main advantages these systems, which make them attractive competitive with respect to more traditional constructional solutions. buildings, do hav...

This paper investigates the in-plane lateral behaviour and capacity of cold-formed steel (CFS) stud wall panels which are sheathed with Oriented Strand Board (OSB). Detailed nonlinear FE models were developed, accounting for material properties, geometric nonlinearity, realistic fastener imperfections. The validated against available experimental data subsequently employed to conduct comprehens...

The current cold-formed steel (CFS) design standards have not yet provided adequate methods for built-up nested CFS channel compression members, which may fail by either local or distortional buckling, despite several research studies in recent times. These proposed improved DSM based that led to capacity predictions with varying accuracy. Besides, there were some contradicting observations reg...

Cold-formed steel (CFS) claddings are increasingly used in bushfire prone areas Australia due to their non-combustibility and recommended the Australian standard AS 3959 for design of buildings areas. Thus, good knowledge understanding behaviour at elevated temperatures is important safe buildings. However, temperature mechanical properties thin CFS cladding profiles have not been investigated....

Cold-formed steel (CFS) unlipped channel sections are commonly used as bearers in floor systems while rectangular hollow (RHS) joists. The transverse loads from the joists do not pass through shear centre of due to different joist bearer and column connections. Hence, subjected torsion addition concentrated bending. This study investigated effects two (bolted/welded) connections, (cap plate/ang...

Recently, there has been a resurgence in the adoption of lightweight cold-formed steel (CFS) profiles as structural elements low- to mid-rise modular construction. Typically, openings for doors and windows are ever-present front rear elevations where shear walls find their optimal position ensure lateral stability CFS structures. These architectural design features translate into reduced areas ...

Modular Building Systems (MBS) offer numerous benefits in terms of productivity, sustainability and safety. Therefore, MBSs are considered as a viable option to sort out the housing crisis Britain well drive towards sustainable construction. Development materials, manufacturing techniques, connection types structural designs with respect offsite construction is essential achieve goals. Recent a...

The use of cold-formed steel (CFS) back-to-back channels as floor joists is increasing steadily, and such beams often include un-stiffened holes for installation services, which reduces their flexural strength due to the reduced web area. A new generation CFS with edge-stiffened has been widely used. However, no research undertaken understand effects composite actions on moment capacity built-u...

Cold-formed steel (CFS) is a typical green building material with the merits of being low-cost, lightweight, high-strength, and recyclable. CFS built-up section beams are widely used in frames owing to their outstanding mechanical properties. However, simplified accurate method for calculating flexural moment capacity multi-limb missing specifications. In this study, behaviors four-limb closed ...

Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) sections provide many design and construction sophistications including lightweight high strength-to-weight ratio. The SupaCee section was introduced to CFS industry due its cost effectiveness, enhanced strength, better structural performance stiffness. Introduction of lead investigations web crippling, flexural shear behaviour the sections. However, with openings has no...
