Cold-Formed Steel (CFS): Steel members shaped by bending or rolling at ambient temperatures, noted for their high strength-to-weight ratio and versatility in construction.

BuildSteel, an alliance of steel and construction industry organizations, recently released “Cold-Formed Steel Framing: Engineering the Details of Your Next Project.” The e-book explores several ...

Testing of two full-scale cold-formed steel framed buildings under seismic excitation at the University at Buffalo Structural Engineering Earthquake Simulation Lab (SEESL) was performed in the summer ...

UC San Diego is preparing to use its outdoor shake table in Scripps Ranch to determine whether 10-story buildings made of cold-formed steel can withstand massive earthquakes.

Cold-formed steel (CFS) got its name because its final step of production and shaping is done at room temperature. It’s supplied to builders in coils of thin steel.

But cold-formed steel offers more than an insurance advantage. It has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any construction material.

The UC San Diego shake table, located on an industrial lot off Pomerado Road, is the only outdoor facility of its kind in the ...
