Design of Cold Formed Steel Structures
Cold-formed steel sections (generally referred to as light gauge steel or light steel sections) are commonly used as secondary steelwork, e.g. roof purlins and wall cladding rails in industrial buildings. In recent years the application has emerged to primary load-bearing elements in light steel frames, such as roof trusses and framed walls. The nature of cold-formed steel is very different than that of hot-rolled steel sections, thus misunderstanding of such nature could lead to improper design and fatal construction accident. In Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures, design rules for cold-formed steel members are given in several separate Parts, notably BS EN 1993-1-1, BS EN 1993-1-3 and BS EN 1993-1-5, each together with their National Annex and other supplementary documents. The seminar helps the participants to understand the use of such references through worked examples.
Topics:
- Â Introduction to cold-formed steel structures
- Cold-formed steel design to EC3
- Section properties
- Design of tension members
- Design of compression member
- Introduction to design of connection
- Construction of typical buildings
