Special Issue on Advances in Cold-Formed Steel Structures

Special Issue on Advances in Cold-Formed Steel Structures Foreword Cold-formed steel sections and profiles are widely used in the construction industry due to their excellent structural performance, versatility in application, and high buildability during construction.

Abstract

Foreword Cold-formed steel sections and profiles are widely used in the construction industry due to their excellent structural performance, versatility in application, and high buildability during construction. There are growing interests globally in the scientific research and technological developments of cold-formed steel structures including new materials and structural forms, advanced analysis and design methods, innovative applications and product developments. In 2004, the first International Symposium on Cold-formed Metal Structures was organized by Department of Civil and Structural Engineering of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University as a technical platform for dissemination of recent research and development in cold-formed steel construction technology. The Second International Symposium on Cold-formed Metal Structures was also held in December 2006. This Special Issue presents a total of seven technical papers which have been presented in the International Symposium, and all the papers have been expounded significantly and have gone through regular reviewing before publication. They report recent scientific research and technological developments of cold-formed steel structures with strong emphasis on applications: Analysis and design • Codification on cold-formed steel structures with improved design rules on strength assessment, in particular, for high strength steel. • Advances in analysis and design of cold-formed steel structures with bolted connections. • Web crippling of cold-formed stainless steel tubular sections.
