Cold-formed steel portal frames have emerged as a versatile and efficient structural system in modern construction. Their design exploits thin-walled steel sections, which are cold-formed to yield ...

Recently, a major fire raced through the AvalonBay at Edgewater apartment community in New Jersey, destroying several hundred units and displacing the residents of the luxury development in the middle ...

Cold Formed Steel (CFS), also known as light gauge steel (LGS), construction is a practical, code approved solution to many of the limitations that builders face today when using traditional ...

This Behind the Scenes article was provided to LiveScience in partnership with the National Science Foundation. If I asked you to design a building to withstand unknown forces, what would you do? You ...

The CFS-NEES Phase 2 building was ultimately framed with nonstructural elements including exterior OSB, interior drywall, stairways, interior partition walls, and exterior weatherproofing. When ...

A 10-story building looms above UC San Diego’s earthquake shake table near Scripps Ranch. Next week, the device will simulate an earthquake to see whether a structure made from a lightweight, recycled ...

The process of cold working involves the strengthening of steel material by physically manipulating the material below the recrystallization temperature. The recrystallization temperature is defined ...

Engineers often specify steel when designing axles, bearings, shafts, gears, and a host of other components essential to the dependability and safety of both consumer and industrial products. But many ...
