The use of light-gauge steel framed (LSF) wall systems in low- and mid-rise buildings has increased due to the fast clean construction robust structural performance. Cold-formed studs used as primary load-bearing component LSF walls are often subjected combined axial compression bending actions caused by loading eccentricity. Research on effects eccentricity capacity been limited while currentl...

The use of aluminium alloy channel sections is becoming popular in lightweight structures, especially for pillars curtain wall systems and brace chord members roof trusses. In cases where increased axial strength required, it to built-up sections, instead single sections. Back-to-back as compression can be used achieve higher strengths longer spanning capabilities. such an arrangement, intermed...

The objective of this paper is to explore the potential impact of the use of advanced high strength steel (AHSS) to form traditional cold-formed steel structural members. In this study, shell finite element models are constructed, and geometric and material nonlinear collapse analysis performed, on simulated lipped channel cross-section cold-formed steel members roll-formed from AHSS. AHSS shee...
