Cold-formed Steel Structures

Cold-formed steel (CFS) structures are at the forefront of modern construction, known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, design flexibility, and ease of fabrication. This research topic aims to explore the latest advancements in the design, analysis, and application of CFS in building construction. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:• Structural behaviour in CFS members and structural systems• Connection systems in CFS built-up systems• Material characteristics (high-strength steel and stainless steel)• Experimental studies• Advanced numerical modelling• Design and optimization• Case studies and practical applications of CFS• Codes and Standards• Seismic behaviour of CFS structures• Strengthening techniques for CFS members• Sustainability of CFS structures• Application of machine learning in CFS designWe invite researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to submit original research articles, review papers, and case studies that contribute to the understanding and advancement of CFS structures. Through this collection, we aim to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration, driving innovation and best practices in this dynamic field. Topic editors: Mohammad Adil Dar, M.
