Experimental And Analytical Studies Of Cold-Formed Steel Sections With Edge-Stiffened Circular Holes Subjected To Web Crippling, Asraf Uzzaman, James B. P. Lim, David Nash, Amir M. Yousefi, Benjamin Young
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel sections are often used as wall studs or floor joists and such sections often include web holes for ease of installation of services. The holes are normally punched or bored and are unstiffened; when the holes are near to points of concentrated load, web crippling can be the critical design consideration. Recently, a new generation of cold-formed steel channel sections with edge-stiffened circular holes has been developed. The web holes are stiffened through a continuous edge stiffener/lip around the perimeter of the hole. In this paper, a combination of experimental investigations and non-linear finite element analyses are used …

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
A parametric study of cold-formed steel sections with edge-stiffened circular holes subjected to web crippling under one-flange loading condition was undertaken using finite element analysis. The effect of different hole sizes, edge-stiffener length and distances of the web holes to the near edge of the bearing plate on the web crippling strengths of channel sections were investigated. The web crippling strengths are influenced by various geometry parameters: the ratio of the hole depth to the flat portion of the web, a/h, the location of the hole as defined by the distance of the hole from the edge of the …

To explore the potential of using stainless steel structurally, extensive research has been carried out to study the structural behavior of stainless steel member as associated with the nonlinear stress-strain relationship. Hollow flange sections feature improved structural efficiency and a unique issue of web distortion. Steel hollow flange sections have been studied and commercially distributed (e.g. the very first HFB section and lately LSB section). As a proactive study, this paper investigates stainless steel hollow flange beams of double-symmetric section with numerical modeling and parametric analysis. The validity of the idealized FE model was verified with existing study on steel …
On The Effect Of Web Stiffening Of Cold-Formed Steel Thin-Walled Lipped Sigma Sections In Compression Members, Rashideddin Cheraghi, Hamidreza Mohammadzadeh
On The Effect Of Web Stiffening Of Cold-Formed Steel Thin-Walled Lipped Sigma Sections In Compression Members, Rashideddin Cheraghi, Hamidreza Mohammadzadeh
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel cross sections are high strength thin-walled profiles which are highly prone to local and distortional instabilities. Stiffening techniques are utilized in the industry as a solution to enhance local and distortional buckling strengths. The sigma section is that channel section which its web pushed inward for the stiffening reason. In this research, the effect of side sway of the web (dx) on the buckling behavior of lipped sigma sections is investigated. The results demonstrate that stiffening inclined components of the web in lipped sigma sections for dx up to 0.5512”(14 mm) act as a stiffener and change the …

Bracing Design For Torsional Bucking Of Cold-Formed Steel Wall Stud Columns, C. D. Moen
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
A method is presented for calculating the required brace stiffness and strength to limit torsional buckling deformation in cold-formed steel wall stud columns. The bracing (bridging) design method utilizes recent insight from classical stability solutions that define twist of singly and doubly-symmetric columns with an initial twist imperfection as a function of column compressive load. A wall stud design example is provided.

Behavior Of Beam To Column Cold-Formed Section Connections Subjected To Bending Moments, Maged T. Hanna, Mohamed M. El-Saadawy, Ghada M. El-Mahdy, Ehab H. A. H. Aly
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold formed sections are often used in the construction of mid-rise buildings due to their high strength weight ratios, and fast erection. In these buildings, the connections between joists and studs are mainly simple connections. However, application of these sections can be extended to moderate span frames where connections between members are subjected to bending moments. Strength and stability of such frames depends to large extent on the behaviour of the connections between their members. Over the last twenty years, several researchers undertake tests on cold formed section connections subjected to bending moments. Major of them classify the connections as …

Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Moment-Resisting Connections With Friction-Slip Mechanism For Seismic Areas, Marzie Shahini, Alireza Bagheri Sabbagh
Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Moment-Resisting Connections With Friction-Slip Mechanism For Seismic Areas, Marzie Shahini, Alireza Bagheri Sabbagh
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
This paper presents investigation on cold-formed steel (CFS) beam-to-column moment-resisting (MR) bolted connections with high energy dissipation capacity suitable for seismic areas. Bolting friction-slip mechanism of the introduced CFS MR connection is developed as its main seismic energy dissipation fuse aiming to postpone or eliminate local buckling and yielding in the CFS MR connections. Finite Element (FE) modelling techniques are employed to effectively simulate the connections with an activated friction-slip mechanism. Hysteretic energy dissipation response of the connections with circular bolting (CB) arrangement designed to slip at 0.5Mp are presented. Based on the obtained FE results, full-scale physical tests on …
Planning The Future Of North American Cold-Formed Steel Design Standards, Benjamin W. Schafer, Jay Larson, Helen Chen
Planning The Future Of North American Cold-Formed Steel Design Standards, Benjamin W. Schafer, Jay Larson, Helen Chen
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Growth in cold-formed steel structures has long been tied to developing and advancing the engineering standards that govern their use in construction. The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has taken a leadership role in this activity in North America since 1946. Conventional standards providing closed-formed solutions to member capacity, such as the recently completed suite of AISI Standards in 2015 and 2016. These standards have reached an impressive level of maturity given the complexity of designing entire (building) structural systems out of steel that is rarely greater than 2mm thick. However, the demands on the structural engineer designing cold-formed …
The Impact Of Bearing Conditions On The Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Stud Assemblies, Abbas Joorabchian, Zhanjie Li, Kara D. Peterman
The Impact Of Bearing Conditions On The Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Stud Assemblies, Abbas Joorabchian, Zhanjie Li, Kara D. Peterman
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The objective of this study is to explore the structural response of cold-formed steel stud assemblies (i.e., stud and track) with partial bearing conditions. It is hypothesized that studs bearing under partial bearing conditions (i.e., not fully bearing on a concrete slab) may result in reduced axial capacities. Currently, the behavior of these systems on concrete slabs due to member instabilities is not well-understood, and cold-formed steel design specifications provide no guidance. This study provides an integral experimental and numerical investigation of the stability response of the studs under partial bearing conditions in order to quantify the reduction of their …

The acknowledged need to promote a sustainable building market is an international high-priority issue as underlined by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Indeed one of its strategic objectives highlights to make cities and …
Experimental Study Of Apex Connection Stiffness And Strength Of Cold-Formed Steel Double Channel Portal Frames, J. Peng, J. Bendit, H. B. Blum
Experimental Study Of Apex Connection Stiffness And Strength Of Cold-Formed Steel Double Channel Portal Frames, J. Peng, J. Bendit, H. B. Blum
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel portal frames are an increasingly popular structure in the housing and industrial sectors, and are commonly used for garages, sheds, and shelters. Longer span cold-formed steel portal frames are relatively new to the market, and as a result limited design guidance and recommendations exist, including the strength and stiffness of the connections. The apex connection stiffness affects the distribution of internal actions and deflections of a portal frame, and therefore, it is necessary to quantify the apex stiffness for use in design models to accurately determine the frame behavior. An experimental program was carried out on a series …

Shear Resistance Mechanisms On Steel Sheet Shear Walls With Burring Holes And Cross-Rails, Yoshimichi Kawai, Kazunori Fujihashi, Shigeaki Tohnai, Atsushi Sato, Tetsuro Ono
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Steel sheet shear walls with burring holes are employed in low and mid-rise buildings in seismically active regions. A configuration with burrs on the inside enables the thinner wall and omitting the machining of equipment holes. The effects of cross-rails which are generally designed to strengthen the bearing capacities of the studs, on 2.73~4.53m height shear walls were clarified by finite element analysis and experiments. Post-buckling behavior depends on tension fields restrained by the cross-rails. The formulas of the allowable strengths and the indexes of ultimate strengths were developed using the mechanisms.

Cold-Formed Steel Framed Shear Wall Database, Deniz Ayhan, Samuel Baer, Zhidong Zhang, Colin A. Rogers, Benjamin W. Schafer
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The objective of this paper is to provide an introduction to a recently compiled database of cold-formed steel framed shear wall tests and demonstrate the application of this database for improving the understanding and modeling of cold-formed steel framed shear walls. Over the last 20 years a substantial number of cold-formed steel framed shear walls have been tested under monotonic and cyclic conditions. These tests provide the support for the cold-formed steel framed shear wall provisions provided in the North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing (AISI S240-15), the North American Standard for Seismic Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural …

Seismic Behavior Of Cold-Formed Steel Shear Walls During Full-Scale Building Shake Table Tests, X. Wang, Tara C. Hutchinson, G. Hegemier, Colin A. Rogers
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel sheathed shear walls are now emerging as a strategic vertical lateral load resisting component in seismic design. However, although a number of component cyclic test programs have been conducted in recent years to characterize their hysteretic behavior and guide design, system-level test programs to investigate their performance are so far lacking in the literature. To this end, a unique full-scale CFS-framed mid-rise building shake table test program was conducted to contribute to understanding the behavior of mid-rise cold-formed steel (CFS) wall-braced buildings under a multi-hazard scenario. The centerpiece of this project involved earthquake and live fire testing of …

Localised Screw Connection Failures In Cold-Formed Steel Roofing Systems, Mayooran Sivapathasundaram, Mahen Mahendran
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Lightweight roofing systems made of thin and high strength steel roof sheeting and battens are commonly used in low-rise buildings. However, they often fail frequently at their screw fastener connections during wind storms due to inadequate connection capacities. Two localised failures, known as pull-through and pull-out failures at the screw fastener connections, have been the root cause for extensive loss of roofing systems under high wind uplift loads. Such premature connection failures often cause partial or even complete loss of steel roofing systems and severe damage to building contents. Therefore many experimental studies have been conducted to investigate the pull-through …

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel roof claddings are subjected to significant suction/uplift pressures during high wind events. In New Zealand, the strong prevailing winds makes this a common occurrence. Suction pressures are generated by the turbulence of the wind flow around the building which can vary both spatially and temporally. The weakest link in the roofing system is the connection between roof sheeting and screw fasteners, which if fails, can lead to progressive collapse of the whole roofing assembly. Fluctuating high wind suction pressures can result in either static or fatigue pull-through failure of the roof sheeting at its screw fastener connections. Current …

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The shear resistance and flexibility of a steel roof diaphragm depend largely on shear resistance and slip flexibility of the single screw lap joint. In this paper, screw connections relevant to modern roof construction are investigated. The tests provided experimental values of shear/tearing resistance and joint flexibility of seam connections, cladding/purlin connections and purlin/rafter connections. The novel aspects of the experimental research include investigation of the behaviour of shear connections in 0.5mm thick sheeting and thick-to-thin connections in S550 high tensile steel. Overall, six series of tests were conducted and each test was repeated five times in order to demonstrate …

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
In this paper, the strength and stiffness of different roof panels were investigated, in order to establish their ability to act as in-plane diaphragms for stressed skin design of cold-formed steel portal frames. A total of 6 roof panels, approximately 3 x 3m, were examined by testing with sheeting profiles fixed on 4 sides. A variety of sheeting profiles in two industry standard thicknesses of 0.5 and 0.7mm were tested, all using top-hat shaped purlins fixed with self-drilling, self-tapping screws. The experimental strength and stiffness of each panel were then compared against existing design methods. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) …

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel framed buildings can involve a range of options for framing systems, including balloon framing, platform framing, and ledger framing. Transfer of lateral forces from the diaphragms to the wall system (and ultimately to the ground) depends on the interactions within the wall-diaphragm connection, which is dependent on choice of framing system. In ledger framing, floor joists are hung from top of wall studs via a rim track (ledger) and clip angle connection. Recent experimental efforts at Johns Hopkins University studied the wall-diaphragm connection with the goal of quantifying its contribution to overall diaphragm response. Results from these experiments …
Effect Of Connection Details On The Cyclic Behavior Of Nestable Screw Sidelaps, S. Torabian, H. Folk, Benjamin W. Schafer
Effect Of Connection Details On The Cyclic Behavior Of Nestable Screw Sidelaps, S. Torabian, H. Folk, Benjamin W. Schafer
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The connection strength and stiffness sensitivity of screwed sidelaps in nestable steel decks to screw installation details has been experimentally explored via cyclic testing. The cyclic behavior of sidelaps has been recently incorporated in the high fidelity modeling and seismic evaluation of the steel deck diaphragm in rigid wall - flexible diaphragm buildings, where “unzipping” a sidelap (loss of a significant number of sidelap connections along a deck edge) could significantly reduce the seismic performance of the whole diaphragm. A total of 24 monotonic and cyclic sidelap tests have been performed in the Thin-Walled Structures Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. …
Fire Resistance Of Cavity Insulated Light Gauge Steel Framed Walls, Anthony Deloge Ariyanayagam, Mahen Mahendran
Fire Resistance Of Cavity Insulated Light Gauge Steel Framed Walls, Anthony Deloge Ariyanayagam, Mahen Mahendran
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Light-gauge steel framed (LSF) wall systems are made of cold-formed steel studs and tracks and lined with gypsum plasterboards. They are mostly cavity insulated to provide acoustic and thermal performance. Cavity insulation delays the temperature rise across the wall as it restrains the heat transfer. This delays the ambient plasterboard surface temperature rise and thus improves the insulation failure time of LSF walls. However, LSF walls are also used as load bearing walls. Having cavity insulation causes the fire side temperatures to increase rapidly, resulting in a higher temperature gradient across the stud depth. This leads to higher thermal bowing …

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Cold-formed steel (CFS) building structures are generally acknowledged as green and industrialized buildings, and the fire resistance behavior has become an important issue. Previous studies were mainly to investigate the fire performance of load-bearing CFS walls lined with different panels. Based on the finite element (FE) software package, ABAQUS, this paper presented a numerical simulation on a new CFS channel joist – ALC (autoclaved lightweight concrete) composite floor under fire conditions. Finally, the present numerical simulation of CFS composite floor in fire was compared with previous full-scaled fire experiments of such floors. The results showed that the temperature progression of …

In cold-formed steel construction the steel frame is supplemented with either diagonal strap braces or structural sheathing panels (typically steel or wood) to provide overall stability to the structural system and to directly transfer lateral wind and seismic loads through to the foundation as per the design provisions found in AISI S240 (2015) and AISI S400 (2015). Gypsum panels are often specified to provide a fire-resistance rating for the CFS frame, as well as to ensure that adequate sound-proofing exists between adjacent rooms or building units. The engineer may choose to rely on this gypsum to provide additional lateral resistance, …

Human-Structure Interaction In Cold-Formed Steel Floor Systems: An Analytical Perspective, Sigong Zhang, Lei Xu
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Designing cold-formed steel (CFS) floors to prevent annoying vibrations induced by human activities such as walking is still a challenge because human occupants not only generate impact loads but also behave as dynamical systems that interacting with structures. Such interaction, known as human-structure interaction (HSI), can be significant for lightweight floor systems particularly for the case when the mass of human occupants becomes comparable to those of the floors. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the HSI in vibration of CFS floors subjected to human walking excitations by using the recently proposed damped plate-oscillator model to predict …
