Additionally, cold formed steel is a 'dry' system, which means there is no need to use water resources for mixing cement or other materials.

Advances in the design and evaluation of cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls have significantly enhanced the seismic resilience of modern structures. These walls, which integrate thin-gauge steel ...

Engineering researchers have provided the building blocks necessary for enabling performance-based design for cold-formed steel buildings, structures that have shown in shake-test experiments at the ...

BuildSteel, an alliance of steel and construction industry organizations, recently released “Cold-Formed Steel Framing: Engineering the Details of Your Next Project.” The e-book explores several ...

UC San Diego’s earthquake shake table will test a ten story building built from a lightweight recycled steel to possibly expand its use for tall structures in earthquake zones.

But cold-formed steel offers more than an insurance advantage. It has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any construction material.

Steel Tek Framing, a leader in cold-formed steel solutions, is revolutionizing the construction industry with the launch of its mobile cold-formed steel factory—the first of its kind in the Midwest.

The cold-formed steel components used at 555 Teeple Terrace were supplied by iSpan Systems in Princeton, about 20 kilometres east of Woodstock.

Cold cracking in high-strength steel presents major quality assurance challenges for the automotive and machine-building industries, since cracks are difficult to predict – until now. A new ...

Cold Formed Steel (CFS), also known as light gauge steel (LGS), construction is a practical, code approved solution to many of the limitations that builders face today when using traditional ...
