Experimental Testing and Numerical Analysis of 3D Steel Frame System Under Column Loss
Multistory steel frames are expected to provide resistance to progressive collapse following local damage or failure caused by extreme loading events. Features like ductility and continuity provide more deformation capacity and redistribution of loads so...
Cold-Formed Steel Design Software
We discussed in previous articles some of the advantages of Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) over other systems. In this article, we are going to discuss a unique software that is used only to design CFS. This software is called the Steel Smart System or SSS. The software is...
