Abstract:Previous research on cold-formed steel (CFS) battened columns has identified the critical factors influencing their performance and accordingly, their limiting values for improved performance have been recommended. However, these studies involved connecting battens to the chords (channels) via their flanges, leaving the slenderest component disconnected from the web. This study introduces a novel hooped-batten (tubular-element) that links both webs and flanges of the chords together, thereby improving the stru… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
