Cold-formed steel structures are steel structural products that are made by bending flat
sheets of steel at ambient temperature into shapes which will support more than the flat …

Introduction of filling materials, such as lightweight polymer material (LPM), is very beneficial
for traditional cold formed steel (CFS) walls. A further improvement of CFS walls via …

This research aims to identify and characterize the behavior of dissimilarly sheathed, load
bearing, cold-formed steel studs under axial and lateral load. A series of tests on single …

The structural behaviour of sheathed cold-formed steel lipped channel section columns
(studs) subjected to combined compression and major axis bending is investigated herein …

Cold-formed steel-framed walls lined with appropriate sheathing materials are increasingly
being used as vertical load bearing systems due to their many benefits. Despite this …

A full-scale experimental study on the structural performance of load-bearing wall panels
made of cold-formed steel frames and boards is presented. Six different types of C-channel …

A cold-formed steel wall panel consists of a cold-formed steel frame and sheathing on one
or two sides, the latter attached to the frame by self-driving screws. It is observed during tests …

Cold-formed thin-walled steel tube truss (CFSTT) shear walls are gradually used in some
engineering practice (ie residence, supermarket, school etc.) owing to their superiorities …

The cold-formed steel (CFS) frame has the advantages of high strength, light weight, high
construction efficiency, so it has been widely applied in building structures. However, the …

A comprehensive study has been carried out experimentally and analytically on the axial
performance of sixteen (16 nos.) cold-formed steel (CFS) wall panels including one bare …
