Overview

Recent Trends in Cold-Formed Steel Construction, Second Edition focuses on the application and use of this important construction material. In this updated edition, new chapters take on these developments, offering updates on cutting-edge new technologies and design methods for using cold-formed steel as a structural material and providing technical guidance on how to design and build sustainable and energy-efficient cold-formed steel buildings. Sections introduce codes, specifications and design methods, provide computational analysis of cold-formed steel structures, examine the structural performance of cold-formed steel buildings, and review thermal performance, acoustic performance, fire protection, floor vibrations and blast resistance. Over the last few years, there has been major breakthroughs for cold-formed steel design with modular building applications now becoming more widely accepted. Other scientific developments include research on system reliability applications, AI machine learning, and the use of high strength steel, as well as new connection methods and changes in DSM codes.
