Cold-formed steel structures
TLDR
The cold-formed steel structures are steel structural products that are made by bending flat sheets of steel at ambient temperature into shapes which will support more than the flat sheets themselves.About:

Review: the direct strength method of cold-formed steel member design
TL;DR: A review of the development and current progress in the Direct Strength Method for cold-formed steel member design is provided in this paper, where a brief comparison of the direct strength method with the Effective Width Method is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength and ductility of concrete filled double skin (SHS inner and SHS outer) tubes
TL;DR: In this article, a series of compression and bending tests carried out on concrete filled double skin tubes (CFDST) were carried out and theoretical models developed to predict the ultimate strength of CFDST stub columns and beams were also described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tests on concrete filled double-skin (CHS outer and SHS inner) composite short columns under axial compression
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented stub columns tests on concrete-filled double skin sandwich tubes (CFDT) constructed using cold-formed steel tubes and found that CFDT construction was found to have significant increase in strength, ductility and energy absorption over the outer jacket.
Journal ArticleDOI
Material properties and residual stresses of cold-formed high strength steel hollow sections
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an experimental investigation on the material properties and residual stress distributions of cold-formed high strength steel hollow sections, which are composed of 9 square hollow sections and 6 circular hollow sections.
Journal ArticleDOI
A full modal decomposition of thin-walled, single-branched open cross-section members via the constrained finite strip method
Sándor Ádány,Benjamin W. Schafer +1 more
TL;DR: The constrained finite strip method (cFSM) as discussed by the authors decomposes the elastic stability solution of a thin-walled single-branched open cross-section member into mechanically consistent buckling classes associated with global, local, distortional, and shear and transverse extension buckling modes.

Direct Strength Prediction of Cold-formed Steel Members Using Numerical Elastic Buckling Solutions
Benjamin W. Schafer,Teoman Peköz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of numerical elastic buckling solutions for the entire member, investigated as an alternative to current practice, was found that a "direct strength" approach is a reliable alternative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength design curves for thin-walled sections undergoing distortional buckling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed strength design curves for thin-walled sections undergoing distortional buckling, where edge and intermediate stiffeners are inadequate to prevent lateral movement of the flanges which they support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent research advances in cold-formed steel structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of cold-formed sections in building construction has been outlined and a more detailed consideration of the related design procedures is presented, where the latest trend is to move from simplified design models to design procedures based on "whole section" analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laterally braced cold-formed steel flexural members with edge stiffened flanges
Benjamin W. Schafer,Teoman Peköz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the moment capacity of a laterally braced cold-formed steel flexural member with edge stiffened flanges (e.g., a channel or zee section) may be affected adversely by local or distortional buckling, and procedures for hand prediction of the buckling stress in the local and distortional mode are presented and verified.
