Unavoidable geometric imperfections complicate the load–displacement response of thin-
walled cold-formed steel (CFS) structural members. While the inclusion of geometric …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) members are susceptible to geometric imperfections due to the
high length-to-thickness ratio of the flat partitions, in other words, high slenderness …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) noncontact laser-scanning method to quantify the
deviations in cold-formed steel (CFS) channel sections (plain and lipped) is presented. The …

This paper is the second part in a two-part series that examines the role of geometric
imperfections in load–displacement response and collapse behavior of cold-formed steel …

An experimental study of sheathed cold-formed steel C-lipped wall studs, with service holes,
subjected to compression and major axis bending is presented in this paper. A total of 17 …

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 …

An experimental investigation on gypsum sheathed cold-formed steel (CFS) panels with
different sheathing configurations was conducted under four-point bending (out-of-plane) …

To conduct in-depth research on the seismic performance of phosphogypsum (PG) filled
cold-formed thin-walled square steel tube (PFCFS) composite walls, a series of finite …

The direct strength method of cold-formed steel member design uses local, distortional, and
global cross-section elastic buckling analysis with empirically derived direct expressions to …

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