Abstract

Abstract

Cold-formed steel (CFS) structural framing system widely used in North America and Europe is also applicable in China due to low weight, high strength, environmental friendliness, and fast fabrication. In the last three decades, numerous researches have been carried out to investigate the structural performance of CFS framing buildings. The author started to study the CFS structures in the 1980s and is one of the earliest advocators of applying CFS structures in residential buildings. This paper summarizes the research progress on CFS framing buildings, including local buckling and distortional buckling of CFS columns, compression and flexural behavior of build-up columns and beams, diaphragms, vibration performance of composite floor systems, strength and stiffness of shear walls, the seismic behavior of whole CFS structure, and the fire resistance of build-up columns. Lastly, future research for advancing the knowledge relating to structural behavior of CFS structures is suggested.
