...G. Jaya Kumar; Tattukolla Kiran; N. Anand; Khalifa Al-Jabri Purpose Most of the industrial buildings which are designed to moderate loads are constructed using light gauge cold-formed steel (CFS) sections. Residual mechanical properties of CFS sections exposed to elevated temperature need...

...Hélder Craveiro; João Paulo Correia Rodrigues; Luis Laim Purpose The use of cold-formed steel members has increased significantly in the past few years; however, its design is only briefly addressed in the current design codes, such as the EN 1993-1-3. To evaluate the compressive behavior...

...Ross P. D. Johnston; Mohammed Sonebi; James B. P. Lim; Cecil G. Armstrong; Andrzej M. Wrzesien; Gasser Abdelal; Ying Hu This paper describes the results of non-linear elasto-plastic implicit dynamic finite element analyses that are used to predict the collapse behaviour of cold-formed steel portal...

...Alexandre Landesmann; Dinar Camotim This paper reports the available results of an ongoing shell finite element investigation on the distortional buckling, post-buckling and ultimate strength behaviour of cold-formed steel lipped channel columns (centrally compressed members) subjected to high...

...Saulo Almeida; Ronaldo Rigobello; Jorge Neto; Valdir Silva This work presents the results of numerical analyses, both thermal and structural, of a pinned-pinned open cross section of a "U-shaped" cold-formed steel beam in a fire situation. The beam was in physical contact with a concrete slab...
