An investigation on the structural behavior of cold-formed steel lipped C-section stud for interior walls or partitions was carried out. This experimental research was carried out to study the ultimate and service load capacity of stud assemblies that are subjected to lateral loads. Each test specimen consisted of three or four lipped C-section studs and two C-section tracks that restrained both ends. The major factors considered in this experiment were the perforation on the web, the connection of the bridge channel and the special clip. The effect of the plaster board and the ply wood, which were attached to the tension flange on the flexural strength, was also investigated. Thereafter, the test strength capacities were compared with the nominal strength, based on the AISI Specifications (1996).

In this study, semi-rigid light-weight framed structures analysis model (SERIFS) was developed by advancing the LEIFS model. This model enables us to analyze simultaneous effects of large deflection and semi-rigid connection by computing unbalanced load occurring in the process of repeated loading through equalization of bending moments and torsion. This model is also able to handle the effect of the semi-rigid connection and large deflection by modifying the elastic stiffness matrix using moment-rotation behavior of connection. Moment-rotation behavior of the semi-rigid connection was adopted from the experimental results of load-vertical displacement of frame element In conclusion, this model achieves to analyze the nonlinear and large deflection behavior on the semi-rigid and light-weight steel frame connection.

In recent years, the use of cold-formed steel roof truss has been increased in the steel houses and high-rise apartments. The design of the roof truss anchor connections has been based on the experience and decision of designers. In this paper, the structural behavior of anchor connections based on experimental and decision is described. In the tests, truss members and connection members were jointed directly with self-drilling screw fasteners and the simple shaped connection member with excellent workability and structural capacity was used to connect roof truss and sub-structure. The connecting method was selected according to the construction material of sub-structure: chemical anchor for reinforced concrete structure and welding or DX-Pin for steel structures. The pull-out tests of various type anchor connection were executed to obtain the strength and the stiffness and the result have been compared with AISI(1996) and AlSC(1989) specifications, Simple formulas for the shear strength of screw connections have been propose and compared with tests.

The object of this paper is to evaluate on constructability of modular steel frame with the hollow structural steel section to LEB C-shape. A modular building is built with factory-manufacture and site-construction. The advantage of a Modular building presents that enhanced building quality, shortened construction period and easy at an expansion and enlargement for buildings but also has demerits such as size restriction of the modular units according to the Road Traffic Law and Inflexibility of the unit composition. So in this study we use light-weighted structure members with bolted joint for easy Knock-down and traffic, also we evaluated the constructability of this bolted joints type modular buildings.

This paper presents the test and evaluation results on the shear strength and stiffness of a light steel stud wall from a lightweight foamed mortar (lightweight hybrid wall). The use of a lightweight foamed mortar was aimed at improving structural performance, thermal performance, and finish. Studiesshowed that it did not affect thermal performance, but it contributed to structural performance and finish when the unit weight was more than 0.8 (Editor's note: Please indicate the unit of measurement.). In this study, 14 specimens-whose parameters included the specific gravity of the lightweight foamed mortar (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2), the spacing of the stud (450 mm, 600 mm, or 900 mm), finishing materials (such as lightweight foamed mortar, OSB, and gypsum board), and bracing-were manufactured. Three typical, steel house-framing specimens were added to compare the test results with the 14 specimens. The results of in-plane shear tests show that the use of lightweight foamed mortar (1.15~5.38 times stronger, 1.45~13.7 times stiffer) results in ultimate strength and initial stiffness. In addition, it was possible to widen the stud spacing to up to 900 mm without decreasing shear strength. It was very important to prevent the lightweight foamed mortar from shrinking and to secure the adhesion between the steel stud and the lightweight foamed mortar to improve structural performance.

In this study, the optimum structural components of the rural house using the light gage cold-formed steel frame is proposed. The model for selecting the optimum structural components, determines the range of load by the region and size of house, calculates the weight of the component by structural design process and optimizes a kind of the component by sensitivity analysis of the component to the total weight.

Steel-Concrete Composite Deck with I-beam welded is lighter and easier to construct than conventional in situ reinforced concrete slabs due to the I-beam embedded in the corrugated slab. For the calculation of effective flexural rigidity of conventional reinforced concrete structures, methods suggested in Design Standard for Roads and Bridges and ACI have been used. In this paper, the calculation methods were applied to steel-concrete composite deck with I-beam welded and then results of the steel-concrete composite deck were compared with those of reinforced concrete slabs. In addition, applicability of the methods to steel-concrete composite deck with I-beam welded was estimated. In order to compare the effective flexural rigidity, flexural experiments were conducted. Fifteen slabs were built and the variables considered in the experiments were studs, length of the slab, shape of the section and connecting methods.

Corrugated steel-concrete composite deck with I-beam welded is lighter and has higher load carrying capacity than RC slabs due to an I-beam embedded in the corrugated deck. The methods suggested from ACI and design standard of roadway bridge are used to evaluate effective moment inertia of RC structures. This paper presents evaluation and application of effective moment inertia for corrugated steel-concrete composite deck with I-beam welded by using the methods suggested from design standard of roadway bridge, ACI and CEB-FIP MC-90. In order to evaluate effective moment inertia, a series of flexural experiments were carried out. Five beams were built and the parameters considered in the experiments were studs, shape of the sections and connections of the beams. By using the aforementioned methods, effective moments of inertia was calculated and they were compared with the experimental results. As a result, The method suggested from CEB-FIP MC-90 yielded more satisfactory agreement than that from ACI. It was found that the beam has studs showed high load-carrying capacity and high effective moment of inertia.

The substructure of Light Rail Transit is mainly built on elevated structure that is composed of pier, girder and bridge deck. The bridge deck mostly has been made by field formed reinforced concrete so far. The objectives of the study are to find a method for design and construction of the new bridge deck. I-beam is fabricated to make grid and concrete is poured on it at factory. This type can be used for maintenance of duty line by advantages such as good quality control and short construction time.
