Strength and deflection behaviour of cold-formed steel back-to-back channels (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Cold-formed steel (CFS) construction can lead to more efficient designs compared to hot-rolled steel members as a consequence of its high strength, light weight, ease of fabrication, and flexibility in their cross-section profiles. However, CF... Read More about Strength and deflection behaviour of cold-formed steel back-to-back channels.
