On Cold-Formed Steel Construction
Powder-actuated (also referred to as low velocity or powder-driven) fasteners are commonly used to attach cold-formed steel framing members, usually a track, to a concrete or structural steel support. Although commonly used, their behavior is less well understood than other fasteners such as screws, bolts and welds. The AISI Cold-Formed Steel Design Manual does not explicitly address powder act...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of Cold-formed Steel
The objective of this paper is to summarize recent research and experiences with computational modeling of cold-formed steel conducted within the author’s research group at Johns Hopkins University. This admittedly biased view of computational modeling focuses primarily on the use of the semi-analytical finite strip method and collapse modeling using shell finite elements. Issues addressed incl...
متن کاملFuzzy Approach for Optimization of Cold-Formed Cross Sections
This paper presents a fuzzy procedure for obtaining optimal design of channel section shapes under bending moment. The proposed approach refers to an ideal, equivalent single objective representation for the bicriteria objectives, where the cross-sectional area of thin-walled beam is the first objective, while the deflection of the beam is the second one. The design variables were selected as t...
متن کاملCyclic Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel Stud-to-Sheathing Connections
This series of experiments aims to characterize the cyclic behavior of cold-formed steel (CFS) stud-to-sheathing connections. This connection provides the key energy dissipating behavior in wood sheathed CFS shear walls, and provides bracing to the studs under gravity and out-of-plane loads. A simple testing rig is developed consisting of two CFS lipped channels facing toe-to-toe connected on t...
متن کاملCold-formed steel structures around the world
Today, cold-formed steel (CFS) structures enjoy widespread use in many countries and design specifications, e.g., [1] and [2] are well established, even if they are ever changing! Extensive reviews of the CFS literature are available [3], [4] and more targeted research reviews also exist: [5], [6] and Chapter 13 of [7]. However, even in the last five years significant progress has been made, pa...
