Cfsei Educating North American Practitioners In Principles Of Cfs Framing Design, W. D. Allen
Cfsei Educating North American Practitioners In Principles Of Cfs Framing Design, W. D. Allen
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Educating North American structural engi neers in the principles of cold-formed steel (CFS) design in general, and about CFS framing in particular, has a unique set of challenges. The undergraduate curri cula virtually ignore the subjects, and only a handful of graduate programs address the issue. Several industry associations have existed for engineers, but none specialize in CFS framing. Several organizations existed in the co ld-formed steel framing marketplace, but none were set up to accommodate engi neers. This paper will review the formation, development, growth, and maturation of one such education- and engineer-focused organization within the framework of the …
A Life-Cycle Assessment Of Cold-Formed Steel Enclosures Verses Alternative Enclosures In Commerical Buildings, K. J. Van, L. Xu
A Life-Cycle Assessment Of Cold-Formed Steel Enclosures Verses Alternative Enclosures In Commerical Buildings, K. J. Van, L. Xu
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
In North America, the operation of buildings accounts for approximately one third of the total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions each year. Over the life of a building, the total energy use is a combination of the embodied energy in the building materials and the operating energy of the building. Building enclosures (walls and roofs) have a huge impact on both the embodied energy and the operating energy of buildings. Historically, steel has been blacklisted as a material with a high embodied energy. This has led to a misconception that steel enclosures use significantly more energy than other enclosure …

Cross-Aisle Stiffness Tests On Rack Upright Frames, S. R. Sajja, R. G. Beale, M. H. R. Godley
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The US Rack Manufacturers Institution (RMI) code uses a theoretical formula derived by Timoshenko and the new Eurocode EN15512 requires testing. There is a considerable difference in the stiffn ess values determined by two approaches. This paper describes the experiments conducted on 80 full sized upright frames at Oxford Brookes University varying upright size, number of panels in the frame, aspect ratio of the panel (panel length/depth), restraints at the intermediate nodes of the frame, loading pattern, lacing pattern (channels back to back or front to front) and bolt tightness. The experimental data reported can be used in proposing revised …
Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections For Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock
Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections For Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The Direct Strength Method (DSM) rece ntly included in the North American Specification and Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4600:2005 gives design rules for compression and bending. No rules are presente d at this stage for shear. Two series of tests on C-section can be used to develop and calibrate rules for design in shear. These are the University of Missouri Rolla tests of the 1970’s and recent tests on high strength C-sections at the University of Sydney. Both series of tests use a similar test rig altho ugh different levels of tension field action have been observed. Two features research …
Experimental Evaluation Of A Vehicular Access Door Subjected To Hurricane Force Wind Pressures, Tian Gao, Christopher D. Moen
Experimental Evaluation Of A Vehicular Access Door Subjected To Hurricane Force Wind Pressures, Tian Gao, Christopher D. Moen
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
This paper describes an experimental study of a rolling sheet door under uniform positive and negative pressure, i.e. wind pushing the door into the building and wind suction pulling the door out of the building. Rolling sheet vehicular access doors are a commonly provided feature in metal building systems. The edges of the door slide freely during regular usage in tracks connected to cold-formed steel jambs. During an extreme wind event, the door engages the jambs with wind locks distributed along both vertical edges of the door to prevent excessive out-of-plane deformation. The goal of the study was to measure …
Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections In Combined Bending And Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock
Direct Strength Design Of Cold-Formed C-Sections In Combined Bending And Shear, Cao Hung Pham, Gregory J. Hancock
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The paper describes a research program including tests on both plain C- and SupaCee ® purlin sections in combined bending and shear, and bending only. The high strength SupaCee ® profile steel sections contain additional return lips and web stiffeners which enhance the bending and shear capacity of the sections. They are used widely in Austra lia as purlins in roof and wall systems. The tests were performed at the University of Sydney with and without straps on the flange and thus allowed distortional buckling in the latter case. Design methods for these sections are normally specified in the Australian/New …
Lateral Torsional Instability Of Single Channels Restrained By Angle Cleats, G. M. Bukasa, M. Dundu Masce
Lateral Torsional Instability Of Single Channels Restrained By Angle Cleats, G. M. Bukasa, M. Dundu Masce
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
A series of experiments on the lateral tors ional instability of single channels is presented. The channels are restrained by a purlin – angle cleat connection and subjected to a two point loading system in order to simulate a distributed load. Failure of the channels occurred by local buckling of the compression zone of the flange and web and lateral torsional buckling of the channels between points of lateral support. Tests have shown the purlin–angle cleat connection to be capable of restraining the frames from failing due to lateral-torsional buckling. This eliminates the idea of having fly-bracings, which is normally …
On The Direct Strength Design Of Continuous Cold-Formed Steel Beams, Cilmar Basaglia, Dinar Camotim
On The Direct Strength Design Of Continuous Cold-Formed Steel Beams, Cilmar Basaglia, Dinar Camotim
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The work reported in this paper concerns an ongoing investigation aimed at developing an efficient methodology to design continuous cold-formed steel beams failing in modes that combine local, distortional and global features. At this stage, it is intended to assess how accurately can the load-carrying capacity of lipped channel continuous (two and three-span) beams subjected to non-uniform bending be predicted by means of the current Direct Strength Method (DSM) design curves. “Exact” ultimate strength values yielded by geometrically and materially non-linear shell finite element analyses are compared with estimates provided by the DSM equations and, on the basis of this …
Extending Direct Strength Design To Cold-Formed Steel Beams With Holes, Christopher D. Moen, Benjamin W. Schafer
Extending Direct Strength Design To Cold-Formed Steel Beams With Holes, Christopher D. Moen, Benjamin W. Schafer
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The extension of the American Iron and Steel Institute’s Direct Strength Method (DSM) to cold-formed steel beams with holes is nearly in place. DSM was first introduced to th e AISI specification in 2004 as an alternative to the effective width met hod, and is widely considered a major advancement in cold-formed steel component design. In DSM, the beam elastic buckling properties for a general cross-section are obtained with a computer analysis utilizing the finite strip method. A disadvantage of the finite strip method and DSM has been that discrete holes along the member length could not be easily accounted …
Load-Carrying Capacity Estimation On Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Columns With Built-Up Box Section, Yuangqi Li, Xingyou Yao, Zuyan Shen, Rongkui Ma
Load-Carrying Capacity Estimation On Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Columns With Built-Up Box Section, Yuangqi Li, Xingyou Yao, Zuyan Shen, Rongkui Ma
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The use of cold-formed thin-walled steel structural members has increased in recent years, and most of their sections are open section with only one symmetrical axis, which would likely fail by twisting and interaction with the others buckling mode, such as local buckling and distortional buckling. To improve the ultimate strength of columns, built-up box section can be used. In this paper, a series of loading capacity tests on high-strength cold- formed steel columns with built-up bo x section are presented, including 21 axially-compressed columns and 19 eccentrically-compressed columns sub- jected to bending moments about weak axis as well as …
Flexural And Cyclic Behaviour Of Hollow And Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes, S. Arivalagan, S. Kandasamy
Flexural And Cyclic Behaviour Of Hollow And Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes, S. Arivalagan, S. Kandasamy
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
This paper presents a study on the flexural and cyclic behaviour of concrete filled steel hollow beam sections. The specimens in-filled with normal mix concrete, fly ash concrete, quarry waste concrete and low strength concrete (Brick-bat-lime concrete) and hollow steel sections were tested. Measurements of strains and deflections were made under two-point loading. A theoretical model was also developed to predict the moment carrying capacity. The capacities of the beams were compared with the ultimate capacity obtained using the international standards EC4-1994, ACI-2002 and AISC-LRFD-1999. The result of the experimental investigation showed that the moment carrying capacity increases based on …
Theoretical Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Battened Double Angle Members Under Compression, W. F. Maia, J. Munaiar Neto, M. Malite
Theoretical Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Battened Double Angle Members Under Compression, W. F. Maia, J. Munaiar Neto, M. Malite
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
In Brazil, battened double angle system is one of the systems most used in light truss, however, there are not any specific studies on its behavior, resulting in the fact that the standard procedures do not provide subsidies for the design of this section. Moreover, cold-formed steel si mple angles under compression, mostly with slender legs, have an interesting structural behavior compared to other cold-formed steel shapes. Two critical modes are observed in the elastic stability analysis: (i) global flexural mode in the case of longer members and (ii) a coincident local-plate/global flexural-torsional mode, which is critical for shorter members. …
Cyclic Elastoplastic Large Displacement Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Box Columns Under Combined Action Of Axial And Bidirectional Lateral Loading, Iraj H. P. Mamaghani, Saman Montazeri
Cyclic Elastoplastic Large Displacement Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Box Columns Under Combined Action Of Axial And Bidirectional Lateral Loading, Iraj H. P. Mamaghani, Saman Montazeri
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
This paper deals with the cyclic elastoplastic large displacement analysis of cold-formed steel box columns under combined action of axial and bidirectional lateral loading. Cold-formed steel box columns are very useful in highway bridge pier construction as they offer flexible space requirement and provide speedy construction. Behavior of cold-formed steel box columns under earthquake-induced loads is rather complicated as earthquakes occur in an oblique direction. However, modern seismic design philosophies have been based on the behavior of structures under independent actions of uni-directional loading in orthogonal directions. In this study, inelastic cyclic behavior of steel columns subjected to constant axial …

Test And Finite Element Analysis On Distortional Buckling Of Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Lipped Channel Columns, Xingyou Yao, Yanli Guo, Zhiguang Huang
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
High-strength cold-formed thin-walled steel sections have been widely used in the recent several years. However, distortional buckli ng or interaction between it and local buckling can occur for high strength cold-formed thin- walled steel members. This paper desc ribes a series of compression tests performed on lipped channel section columns with V-shape intermediate stiffener in the web and flanges fabricated from cold-formed high strength steel of thickness 0.48 and 0.6mm with nominal yield stress 550MPa. The lipped channel sections were tested to failure with both ends of the columns fixed. The test results of 16 specimens show that the local …

Impact Of Corner Radius On Cold-Formed Steel Member Strength, V. Zeinoddini, B. W. Schafer
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The objectives of this paper are to expl ore (a) how corners of cold-formed steel members are included or ignored in current design methods, and (b) the effectiveness of recent proposals for modifying the strength prediction for local buckling to account for corners. The imp act of round corners is examined on the behavior and strength of isolated elements and on full members using material and geometric nonlinear collapse analysis with shell finite elements in ABAQUS. Comparisons between the available methods and the nonlinear finite element analysis are completed to explore the regimes in which the methods are accurate, as …

Evaluating The Lrfd Factor For Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members, Karthik Ganesan, Christopher D. Moen
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
This paper summarizes recent work to determine if the LRFD resistance factor for cold-formed steel compression member s can be increased above its current value of φ c =0.85. An experimental database of 675 concentrically loaded columns with plain and lipped C-sections, plain and lipped Z-sections, hat sections and angle sections, including members with holes was compiled. The predicted strength of each specimen was calculated with the AISI-S100-07 Main Specification and Direct Strength Method (DSM). Test-to-predicted strength statistics were employed with the first order second moment reliability approach in AISI-S100-07 Chapter F to calculate the resistance factors. The observed trends …

Experimental Investigation Of Optimized Cold-Formed Steel Compression Members, D. J. Klingshirn, E. A. Sumner, N. A. Rahman
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
In the past, standard C - shaped metal studs have been the only option for designers and contractors when selecting a cross section for load bearing compression members. T he sigma shaped section has recently emerged as an alternative to the C - section. The sigma shaped section is very similar to the C - shape, with the exception of having an intermediate web return and complex stiffeners. The experimental results of concentric axial compression tests of fifty - eight sigma shaped members are reported. Specimen s were tested at various lengths to force global, distortional, and local buckling failure …
Buckling Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Members With General Boundary Conditions Using Cufsm Conventional And Constrained Finite Strip Methods, Z. Li, B. W. Schafer
Buckling Analysis Of Cold-Formed Steel Members With General Boundary Conditions Using Cufsm Conventional And Constrained Finite Strip Methods, Z. Li, B. W. Schafer
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The objective of this paper is to provide the theoretical background and illustrative examples for elastic buckling analysis of cold-formed steel members with general boundary conditions as implemented in the forthcoming update to CUFSM. CUFSM is an open source finite strip elastic stability analysis program freely distributed by the senior author. Although the finite strip method presents a general methodology, the conventional implementation (e.g. CUFSM v 3.13 or earlier) employs only simply-supported boundary conditions. In this paper, utilizing specially selected longitudinal shape functions, the conventional finite strip method is extended to general boundary conditions, including the conventional case: simply-simply supported, …
Angle Cleat Base Connections, M. Dundu, S. Maphosa
Angle Cleat Base Connections, M. Dundu, S. Maphosa
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Tests, performed on base connections fabricated from cold-formed channels and hot-rolled angle cleats, are presented in this paper. This research is part of an on- going research to develop portal frames made out of cold-formed steel. The base connections are subjected to an axial load and moment. Hot-rolled angle cleats are used to prevent premature failing of the base connections. Several loading configurations are considered and these are dependent on the eccentricity of the load. In all the tests the cold-formed channels failed by local buckling. A significant amount of bearing distortion was observed in the heavily loaded flange. The …
Arc-Spot Welds For Multi-Overlap Roof Deck Panels, N. Guenfoud, R. Tremblay, C. A. Rogers
Arc-Spot Welds For Multi-Overlap Roof Deck Panels, N. Guenfoud, R. Tremblay, C. A. Rogers
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Roof deck construction often incorporates cold-formed steel panels that are connected to the underlying framing with the use of arc-spot welds. The welds are commonly located in areas where multiple layers of roof deck exist, such as at sidelaps or endlaps. CSA S136 restricts the use of multi-layer connections to being less than 2.5 mm thick; as well, the thickness of the supporting steel must exceed 2.5 times the aggregate thickness of the deck. In effect, the standard does not allow for the use of arc-spot welds for 18 ga (1.21 mm) and 16 ga (1.52 mm) roof deck panels. …

Cold Formed Steel Tension Members With Two And Three Staggered Bolts, D. M. Fox, R. M. Schuster
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The second edition of the North American Specification for the Design of Cold Formed Steel Structural Members was published in October of 2007 for use in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This Specification contains two country specific a ppe ndices, namely Appendix A (ANSI/AISI S100- 07) for use in the US and Mexico and Appendix B (CSA S136- 07) for use in Canada. Both Appendix A and B require that a bolt stagger reduction factor of 0.90 be used when calculating the tearing failure strength [resistance] of a cold formed steel member in tension with staggered bolts. This 10% …
Screw Connections Subject To Tension Pull-Out And Shear Forces, R. M. Francka, R. A. Laboube
Screw Connections Subject To Tension Pull-Out And Shear Forces, R. M. Francka, R. A. Laboube
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Currently, the behavior of screw connections subject to combined tension pull- out and shear forces is not well understood. An experimental study was conducted at Missouri Un iversity of Science and Technology to better understand the relationship or interac tion between these forces. The test program evaluated four parameters that may influence the behavior of pure tension and pure shear in screw connections: the thickness of the sheet not in contact with the screw head, the ultimate strength of the steel, the ductility of the steel, and the screw diameter. Based on the behavior observed and analysis of the test …
Shear Behavior Of Screw Connections For Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Structures, Yuangqi Li, Xingyou Yao
Shear Behavior Of Screw Connections For Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Structures, Yuangqi Li, Xingyou Yao
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Self-drilling screws are the primary mean s to fasten cold-formed thin-walled steel members in construction. There are several failure modes for shear connections with self-drilling screws, including screw tilting, hole bearing, edge tearing, tensile fracture in net s ection of connected elements and shear fracture of screws. Meanwhile, the “g roup effect” will exist when a large number of screws are used in a shear connection. A series of tests (75 specimens) on single lap shear connections with self-drilling screws has been carried out and the results report ed in this paper. The end distance, screw spacing, pattern of screws …
Some Aspects On Seismic Design On Frames Designed With Cold Formed Steel Shapes, Gabriel Valencia
Some Aspects On Seismic Design On Frames Designed With Cold Formed Steel Shapes, Gabriel Valencia
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The response of cold-formed steel structures to seismic excitations is not the same as that of structures designed with rolled shapes, in fact, the seismic design codes require that the shapes, meet minimum width/thickness ratios, which virtually no commercial cold formed steel shapes meet, so the design of structures with these elements is excluded from those codes. Different types of beam- to -column connections, made using cold-formed steel shapes have been tested, in order to establish their response to cyclic loads of increasing magnitude. The analysis of these connections using theoretical models with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and through monotonic …

Strength Prediction Model For Power Acutated Fasteners Connecting Steel Members In Tension And Shear-North American Applications, J. R. Ubejd Mujagic, Perry S. Green, William G. Gould
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Power-actuated fasteners (PAFs), also referred to as pins, are small nail-like or threaded stud t ype connectors. They can be used in conjunction with several materials and in a number of different applications. Typical applications in steel include attachments of deck sh eeting or diaphragms, architectural or mechanical components, or miscellaneous support brackets or connections to supporting steel members. Traditionally, the design strength of the connections featuring power-actuated fasteners has been determined through standardized testing protocols. In the United States, this protocol is embodied in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E 1190. The purpose of this …
Study On The Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Angle Tension Members, R. Padmapriya, S. Kandasamy
Study On The Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Angle Tension Members, R. Padmapriya, S. Kandasamy
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel tension members with bolted end connections are frequently used in a variety of structures such as trusses, transmission towers etc. Among all the shapes, angles are widely used. When angle sections are connected with gusset plates and eccentrically loaded, their ultimate load- carrying capacity is influenced by the effect of shear lag. This paper presents the details of an experimental and numerical investigation with a primary objective of studying the effect of shear lag on cold-formed steel single and double angles subjected to tension. Seventy-two single plain and lipped angles made from thicknesses 2,3 and 4 mm connected …

Comparative Behavior Of Built-Up Cold-Formed Box Sections Under Rigid And Flexible End Support Conditions, W. Reyes, F. A. Guzman
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
According to section D1.2 of AISI S100-2007 for compression members composed of two sections in contact whose buckling mode involves shear forces in the connectors, a reduction must be made, KL r ⁄ must be replaced by ሺ KL r ⁄ሻ ୫ . This new modified slenderness ratio takes into account the connection weld spacing and the minimum radius of gyration of an individual shape in the built-up member. Under the provisions of section D1.2 a reduction in load capacity must be made for built-up welded box members, which are the subject of this study. An experimental investigation on 48 …
Feasibility Study For A Repetitive Member Factor For Cold-Formed Steel Framing Systems, S. Clayton, S. F. Stephens
Feasibility Study For A Repetitive Member Factor For Cold-Formed Steel Framing Systems, S. Clayton, S. F. Stephens
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel has become a preferred building material for structural framing in many different types of structures, commonly used as repetitive members such as floor joists, roof rafters, roof trusses and wall studs. For wood framed structures with repetitive members, a repetitive member factor increases the allowable bending stress from 1.00 to 1.50 times the reference design value, depending on both the type of material and the type of load. Currently, however, the bending strength of cold-formed steel repetitive members is not permitted to be increased, even though the method of framing is quite similar to that of wood except …
Evaluation Of The Flexural Strength Of Cold-Formed Steel Studs With Embossed Flanges, K. B. Reynolds, S. F. Stephens, Roger A. Laboube
Evaluation Of The Flexural Strength Of Cold-Formed Steel Studs With Embossed Flanges, K. B. Reynolds, S. F. Stephens, Roger A. Laboube
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
New advances and improvements in the manufacture of cold-formed steel shapes are continually being made. One such advancement in the manufacturing of steel studs is flange embossing, a technique used to facilitate the installation of drywall screws into the stud flange. Currently, embossed flanges are not specifically addressed in the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI S100), thereby drawing into question the use of current design equations from being used to calculate member properties for an embossed stud. A limited experimental investigation was undertaken to determine if light flange embossing affects the nominal flexural …
