Design Method for Cold-Formed Steel Shear Wall Sheathed with Polymer Composite Panel

Description: In order to predict the strength of shear wall with cold-formed steel framing members, analytical models were reviewed. Multiple analytical models were studied, as well as twenty-one connection tests were performed. The connection tests consist of 50-ksi cold-formed steel framing track, different fastening configurations, and different sheathing thicknesses (1/8" and 1/2"). No.12 screw resulted in the highest peak load of all fastening configurations, while the rivet connection had the lowest p… more

Modeling and Analysis of Prototype Shelter Structure on Abaqus

Description: Due to the constraint of high costs and limitations of load conditions, experimental testing is not appropriate for the static study of shelter structures. Comparatively, an effective computational modeling and numerical solution demonstrates significant advantages for understanding the response of steel shelter structures. This study gives an insight into the structural integrity of the prototype shelter structure which is examined using computer simulation of the shelter structure on Abaqus/C… more

Structural, Thermal, and Corrosion Properties of a Cold-Formed Steel Rigid Wall Relocatable Shelter

Description: A prototype rigid wall relocatable shelter was designed and constructed using cold-formed steel (CFS) construction techniques including shear walls with corrugated sheathings. The design of the shelter was to be mechanically sound with adequate thermal performance and resistance to corrosion. Modeling of structural shear walls was performed using ABAQUS and verified with experimental results. At the project's conclusion, a completed full-scale prototype shelter was constructed.
