Direct Strength Prediction of Cold-Formed Steel Beam-Columns
(2016)
The Direct Strength Method (DSM) of cold-formed steel member design employs local, distortional, and global cross-section elastic buckling analysis with empirically derived “direct” expressions to predict member strength. ...
Behavior and Design of Sheathed Cold-Formed Steel Stud Walls under Compression
(2011)
Cold-formed steel may be used to frame the walls, floors, and roofs of modern buildings. The individual cold-formed steel members (studs) have sheathing attached to provide appropriate architectural enclosures. This sheathing ...
Direct Strength Design of Cold-Formed Steel Members with Perforations
(2008)
Cold-formed steel (CFS) structural members are commonly manufactured with holes to accommodate plumbing, electrical, and heating conduits in the walls and ceilings of buildings. Current design methods available to engineers ...
Experiments on the Stability of Sheathed Cold-Formed Steel Studs Under Axial Load and Bending
(2012)
This report provides test and analysis results for a typical cold-formed steel (CFS) stud as employed in light steel framing for a building. Specifically, tests are conducted on a 362S162-68 (50 ksi) stud connected to ...
Sheathing Braced Design of Wall Studs
(2013)
This report provides a summary document and final report for the multi-year project on Sheathing Braced Design of Wall Studs conducted at Johns Hopkins University. This project examined the axial behavior and axial + bending ...
Simplification of the Direct Strength Method of Design for Cold-Formed Channels with Holes in Shear
(2020-10-20)
A Direct Strength Method (DSM) of design for cold-formed steel channels with holes in shear has been developed previously using a Vierendeel model. In particular, the model is applied to square, circular, rectangular and ...
