The Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) structures are able to ensure a good structural response in seismic areas. Among them, the stick-built constructions raise a considerable interest in recent studies. In these structures, the lateral load bearing systems are CFS stud walls, that are generally realized with a frame in CFS profiles that can be braced by light gauge steel straps installed in an X configuration. In this case, the "all steel" design methodology can be adopted and the lateral resisting system is assured by the CFS strap-braced stud walls.

Abstract
The Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) structures are able to ensure a good structural response in seismic areas. Among them, the stick-built constructions raise a considerable interest in recent studies. In these structures, the lateral load bearing systems are CFS stud walls, that are generally realized with a frame in CFS profiles that can be braced by light gauge steel straps installed in an X configuration. In this case, the "all steel" design methodology can be adopted and the lateral resisting system is assured by the CFS strap-braced stud walls.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
