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 ... -
Analytical Study on Rotational Restraint of Sheathing
(2008)Building upon a previous set of experiments performed to determine connection rotational restraint provided by sheathing in cold-formed steel floor joists, this study investigates the reliability of reported connection ... -
AISI Design Methods for Sheathing Braced Design of Wall Studs in Compression
(2008)This is an informal progress report document summarizing recent work on the development of a design method for sheathing braced design of wall studs with dissimilar sheathing. This document focuses on only one aspect of ... -
Experiments on Rotational Restraint of Sheathing
(2007)A series of cantilever tests on joist-sheathing assemblies were conducted to determine the rotational restraint that sheathing provides to the compression flange of a floor joist in bending. This rotational restraint, which ... -
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 ... -
Distortional Buckling of Cold-Formed Steel Columns
(2000)Research on the distortional buckling of cold-formed steel columns, primarily C and Z shapes is summarized in this document.
