Abstract:

Thin-walled cold-formed steel (CFS) has exhibited inherent structural and architectural advantages over other constructional materials, for example, high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of fabrication, economy in transportation and the flexibility of sectional profiles, which make CFS ideal for modern residential and industrial buildings. They have been increasingly used as purlins as the intermediate members in a roof system, or load-bearing components in low- and mid-rise buildings. However, using CFS members in building structures has been facing challenges due to the lack of knowledge to th

Abstract:

In this thesis, standard algorithms are used to carry out the optimisation of cold-formed steel purlins such as zed, channel and sigma sections, which are assumed to be simply supported and subjected to a gravity load. For zed, channel and sigma section, the local buckling, distortional buckling and lateral-torsional buckling are considered respectively herein. Currently, the local buckling is based on the BS 5950-5:1998 and EN 1993-1-3:2006. The distortional buckling is calculated by the direct strength method employing the elastic distortional buckling which is calculated by three available

Abstract:

The purlin-sheeting system has been the subject of numerous theoretical and experimental investigations over the past 30 years, but the complexity of the problem has led to great difficulty in developing a sound and general model. The primary aim of the thesis is to investigate the failure behaviours of cold-formed zed and channel sections for use in purlin-sheeting systems. Both the energy method and finite strip method are used to develop an approach to investigate cold-formed zed and channel section beams with partial-lateral restraint from the metal sheeting when subjected to a uniformly d

This thesis presents two major sections with the objective of introducing a new cold-formed steel (CFS) shear wall system with corrugated steel sheathings. The work shown herein includes the development of an optimal shear wall system as well as an optimal slit configuration for the CFS corrugated sheathings which result in a CFS shear wall with high ductility, high strength, high stiffness and overall high performance. The conclusion is based on the results of 36 full-scale shear wall tests performed in the structural laboratory of the University of North Texas. A variety of shear walls were

Abstract:

Incombustibility is one important advantage of the sheet steel sheathed shear wall over wood panel sheathed shear wall. Compared to shear wall sheathed with plywood and OSB panel, shear wall sheathed with flat sheet steel behaved lower shear strength. Although shear wall sheathed with corrugated sheet steel exhibited high nominal strength and high stiffness, the shear wall usually behaved lower ductility resulting from brittle failure at the connection between the sheathing to frames. This research is aimed at developing modifications on the corrugated sheathing to improve the ductility of the

The topic of this thesis is the investigation of the structural behaviour of cold-formed steel flooring and purlin systems, taking into consideration the beneficial effect of interaction between structural components. Experiments have been conducted on flooring systems comprising cold-formed steel joists and wood-based particle boards, considering the typical screw fixings employed in current practice as well as alternative means of shear connection.

Abstract:

The external envelope of steel framed industrial buildings normally involves the use of purlins and rails spanning between the main hot-rolled frames to support the roofing/cladding. These purlins are typically light-gauge cold-formed steel members of complex shape for which the thinness of the material means that local instabilities will significantly influence their structural behaviour. In this thesis, the finite element (FE) method (ABAQUS) has been used to develop numerical analyses to study the buckling behaviour and degree of moment redistribution in continuous and sleeved cold-formed s

Abstract:

Modern society is challenged by economic and environmental issues, requiring engineers to develop more efficient structures. Using cold-formed steel (CFS) frame in construction industry can lead to more sustainable design, since it requires less material to carry the same load compared with other materials. However, the application of CFS structural systems is limited to low story buildings due to the inherent weaknesses of premature buckling behaviour of members and the low ductility of connections. Consequently, current design guidelines of CFS systems are very conservative especially in the

Abstract:

This thesis investigated the complex structural behaviour of unlipped channel section bearers used in cold-formed steel floor systems. Using both experimental and numerical studies, web critical failure modes of a range of unlipped channels fastened to their supports were first investigated, followed by the failures caused by combined actions of web crippling, bending and torsion with increasing spans and the effects of connection stiffness on the behaviour. New design methods were then developed to predict the ultimate capacities of unlipped channels under isolated and combined actions. This
