Abstract The Continuous Strength Method (CSM) is a deformation-based approach to the
design of structures that enables a continuous, rational and accurate allowance for material …

The objective of this paper is to provide a brief review of recent (over approximately the last
five years) advances in the application, analysis and design of cold-formed steel structures …

Provides the latest AISI North American specifications for cold-formed steel design Hailed by
professionals around the world as the definitive text on the design of cold-formed steel, this …

Current stainless steel design standards are based on elastic, perfectly plastic material
behaviour providing consistency with carbon steel design expressions, but often leading to …

This paper presents the fundamentals and illustrates the application and potential of the
recent 2.0 release of the software G BTul–a computer program developed by the authors …

In this study, a deep learning-based axial capacity prediction for cold-formed steel channel
sections is developed using Deep Belief Network (DBN). A total of 10,500 data points for …

In current structural stainless steel design codes, local buckling is accounted for through a
cross-section classification framework, which is based on an elastic, perfectly-plastic …

The objective of this work is to report a careful experimental investigation, planned at the
University of Lisbon and carried out at The University of Hong Kong, concerning the …

Twenty years ago, the Direct Strength Method (DSM) was first proposed as an efficient
alternative to traditional design methods for thin-walled cold-formed steel (CFS) structural …

Stainless steels are employed in a wide range of structural applications. The austenitic
grades, particularly EN 1.4301 and EN 1.4401, and their low-carbon variants EN 1.4307 and …
