Abstract

This article reviews research on cold-formed steel structures published in 2013 and 2014 in three leading journals: the Journal of Structural Engineering, ASCE, Thin-Walled Structures and the Journal of Constructional Steel Research. It also reviews papers published in the three main conferences in the area over the same period. These are Eurosteel 2014 (Naples, Italy), the 7th International Conference on Thin-Walled Structures (Busan, Korea) and the 22nd International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (St Louis, MO, USA). Three research areas which have recently been incorporated in the North American Specification NAS S100:2012 or are being incorporated in the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4600 have been highlighted. These are the works on the semi-analytical finite strip method for sections in shear by the author and his colleagues at the University of Sydney, net section rupture by Associate Professor Lip Teh at the University of Wollongong and fire design by Professor Mahendran at Queensland University of Technology.
