A novel machine learning model, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), was used for the
purpose of evaluating the moment capacity of cold-formed steel (CFS) channel beams with …

Over the past decade, cold-formed steel (CFS) channel sections with edge-stiffened circular
web holes have been developed and are now widely used in New Zealand. Previous …

This paper presents the development of novel affordable steel-framed modular units for
construction with enhanced overall (healthcare, structural, fire, and lightweight) …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) purlins and studs with staggered web perforations have been used
in construction to improve the thermal efficiency of buildings. The perforations adversely …

Cold-formed steel channels are made with staggered courses of slots for reduced thermal
conductivity and improved energy efficiency of cold-formed steel buildings. The reduced …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) studs often include slits in their webs to improve thermal
performance. However, the inclusion of such slits reduces their axial capacity. The literature …

This paper focuses on the web crippling performance of staggered slotted perforated Cold-
Formed Steel (CFS) channels under Interior-One-Flange (IOF) load case, highlights the web …

The development of new Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) channels with staggered slotted
perforations has led to advances in improved thermal efficiency of buildings. These new …

A comprehensive investigation of the flexural behaviour of concrete-infilled hollow flange
cold formed steel (CF-HFCFS) beams with lightweight normal and lightweight high strength …

Abstract The Modular Building System (MBS) is increasingly popular and promoted due to
the inherent advantages over conventional construction. Fire performance of a building has …
