Distortional Buckling of Cold-Formed Steel Members in Bending
(2005)
Laterally braced cold-formed steel beams generally fail due to local and/or distortional buckling in combination with yielding. For many cold-formed steel (CFS) studs, joists, purlins, or girts, distortional buckling may ...
Test Verification of the Effect of Stress Gradient on Webs of Cees and Zee Sections
(2002)
This report details the work performed under a research grant funded by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) entitled “Test Verification of the Effect of ...
Cold-Formed Steel Framed Shear Walls with In-Frame Corrugated Steel Sheathing
(2020-10-20)
The objective of this paper is to find an alternative non-combustible high-performance shear wall system that can be used in mid- and high-rise cold-formed steel (CFS) light-framed buildings. To achieve this goal, an ...
Steel Sheet Sheathing Options for CFS Framed Shear Wall Assemblies Providing Shear Resistance
(2007-10-31)
In cold-formed steel construction, stud walls covered with steel sheet sheathing is an available option to resist lateral loads such as those caused by wind and earthquakes. The current American Iron and Steel Institute ...
Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Connections Using Oversized and Slotted Holes without Washers Phase 2
(2010-03-18)
In cold-formed steel (CFS) construction, bolted connections without washers for either oversized or slotted holes may significantly expedite the installation process and lower the cost. The North American Specification for ...
Load Bearing Clip Angle Design
(2015-04-08)
The report presents a comprehensive research project aimed at developing design methods for three limit states of cold-formed steel clip angles: shear, compression, and pull-over of the screw connections. For each limit ...
Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Connections Without Washers on Oversized and Slotted Holes Phase 1
(2008-07)
In cold-formed steel construction, bolted connections without washers for either oversized or short slotted holes may significantly expedite the building process and lower the cost. However, the current design specification ...
Steel Sheet Sheathing Options for Cold-Formed Steel Framed Shear Wall Assemblies Providing Shear Resistance - Phase 2
(2009)
Monotonic and cyclic tests on cold-formed steel shear walls sheathed with steel sheets on one side were conducted to (1) verify the published nominal shear strength for 18-mil and 27-mil steel sheets; and (2) investigate ...
