How To Design Inexpensive Cold-Formed Steel Commercial Buildings the Right Way

Typically, builders construct commercial buildings such as warehouses and sheds as portal-shaped rigid or semi-rigid framed structures, where the frames spaced parallel to the line of action resist lateral forces in the plane of action. Builders generally use these types of structures as warehouses, storage structures, carports, industrial sheds, agricultural…

Steel Frame House: A Complete Guide to Best Engineering Practices

Steel frame houses are gaining popularity worldwide because they offer significant advantages, such as a high strength-to-weight ratio, non-combustibility, faster construction times, improved quality control, and superior finishes. As a result, more builders are shifting away from traditional timber-framed construction, which not only enhances sustainability but also promotes the use…

The Complete Cold-Formed Steel Design Guide: All You Need to Know

Cold-Formed Steel (CFS), also known as Light Gauge Steel (LGS), experiences various buckling modes, including local, global, and distortional buckling, with the interaction between these modes often playing a critical role in the failure of light gauge steel members. To accurately predict the strength of cold-formed steel members, engineers must…
