This second progress report describes the design of deck panel specimens for flexural tests and presents the test results of ninety-three deck panel specimens. The deck panels consisted of single and multiple hat-shaped ribs in their cross sections and were manufactured from 28, 26, and 22 gage steel sheets of Structural Grade 80 of ASTM A653 Steel. Among the ninety-three deck panel specimens, seventy-two panels were tested in simply supported and two-point loading conditions; sixteen panels were tested in simply supported and one-point loading conditions; and five panels with screws penetrating through tension flanges were tested in simply supported and …

I. INTRODUCTION A. GENERAL An environmental concern regarding the use of wood being an appropriate construction material has become a contemporary issue. The depletion of forests, caused not only by the building construction industry, but also by natural disasters such as forest fires, has raised many questions about the conservation of the environment. Trees are being replanted in an effort to make up for the loss, but trees take many years to mature. Therefore, in an attempt to improve the environment and the feasibility of building construction, alternative materials for residential construction are being investigated. One material that is being …

PREFACE To aid in adapting cold-formed steel to the residential market, a research project was initiated in 1993 at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Design issues relating to the use of cold-formed steel members and connections in residential roof truss systems have been the focus of the project. The purpose of this research was to study the behavior of cold-formed steel roof truss systems and to establish appropriate design recommendations. Overall, the research findings were intended to aid the promotion of cold-formed steel as a safe, serviceable, and cost effective alternative in residential construction. The First Summary Report was issued in …

INTRODUCTION A. GENERAL Conservation is becoming more prevalent in our society as it is a necessity to protect our environment and ensure our future. Recently, this growing environmental awareness has created concerns regarding the use of wood as an appropriate construction material. In addition, economic and safety concerns are pressuring the competitiveness of the wood industry. Timber prices have risen sharply as the result of a supply and demand crisis. Also, the recent devastation to wood structures by storms have led to the adoption of building codes which require engineered residential construction to minimize safety concerns. To improve the feasibility …
