A new direction of development in the field of light-gauge building systems is when the load bearing elements made of cold-formed steel (CFS) sections are encased in an ultra-lightweight material. This material, apart from heat insulation and fire protection effects, can provide bracing effect to the CFS elements, too, therefore can increase the re...
A novel thin-walled structural system is under development which aims to utilise the beneficial effect of continuous bracing achieved by encasing CFS elements in ultra-lightweight-concrete. This paper deals with the experimental analysis of column-end joints. Altogether six types of end connection and four cross-sections were tested by 18 unbraced...
In the field of structural engineering the design of cost efficient structures is highly important. This led to the development of cold-formed steel structures (CFS). An advanced CFS structure is introduced in this paper, which uses a special type of polystyrene aggregate concrete (PAC) as bracing material. This material has beneficial insulating a...
