Abstract

Gives an overview of the design principles for “cold formed” steel sections to BS 5950-5:1998. These sections are usually produced by cold rolling from galvanized steel strip and can be used in many ways, including housing, apartment buildings, mezzanine floors, roof trusses, frames for cladding, framework for modular units, separating and infill walls and canopies. Covers use of cold formed sections, design, building applications, section properties, load and performance characteristics.
