Behaviour and Design of Built-up Structural Elements Composed of Thin-walled Cold-formed Steel Profiles KU Leuven
This doctoral thesis addresses an increasing demand from the cold-formed steel production industry for more stable load-bearing elements. As buildings constructed entirely from cold-formed steel profiles and sheeting increase their spans, heights and bays, light steel frames not only become more impressive, but the applications of light-steel framing widen.
The limited stability of standard cold-formed steel elements is resolved in the ...
