Abstract

Building systems fabricated with cold-formed steel (CFS) profiles and members made of wood, gypsum, or other materials allow solving a range of issues arising in common constructional elements thanks to their advantages, such as lightness, strength, durability, physical stability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. As a result of this inherent competitiveness of CFS based buildings, their use has been gradually increasing in recent years both in the field of structural systems as non-structural architectural components and, above all, in the area of earthquake resistant buildings, where lightness play a key role. After a general introduction, the paper gives an overview of the current codification and ongoing research on CFS non-structural architectural and structural systems. Finally, the main conclusions are summarised, and possible future developments are outlined
