Cold-Formed Steel -- Research to Practice

Abstract

Research studies at the University of Missouri-Rolla have focused on developing a better understanding of the behavior of cold-formed steel members and assemblies. This research was initiated by the more widespread use of cold-formed steel in the construction market, and the need to provide structurally reliable, as well as highly economical design solutions. This paper summarizes several of my student's studies, and the suggested design recommendations.
