The cold formed steel section are increasingly used as a structural elements in low rise buildings recent times, due to the advantages like economic production, easy transportation, labor cost and high strength weight ratio. In current work G+3 storied building frame is studied for seismic wind load using Staad-pro software. Light gauge taken beam slab elements. analysis carried out by Equivale...

This paper describes an experimental program which examined the flexural strengthening of timber beams (50x50x1000 mm) using cold-formed steel (CFS) plates (0.75 mm thick and 30 wide). A total fifteen specimens were tested in three-point bending scheme with a span-depth ratio 18:1. The effectiveness was evaluated for different lengths number layers. Test results showed that maximum load carryin...
