Cold-formed steel (CFS) structural systems have been intensely studied especially due to the economy and ease of implementation that they provide. A common failure mode of CFS members is the local instability of the section. The aim of this study is to control the local instability in CFS floor trusses by providing concrete infill inside compression chord members. Numerical and experimental studies were conducted in order to investigate the flexural behavior of steel-concrete composite trusses made of CFS sections. Main test parameters were the presence of concrete infill, orientation of top chord CFS member, presence of shear enhancing connectors, and the presence of a concrete slab. The finite element (FE) model of the CFS floor trusses was created and three types of analysis, namely Materially Nonlinear Analysis (MNA), Geometrically and Materially Nonlinear Analysis (GMNA) and Geometrically and Materially Nonlinear Analysis with Imperfections (GMNIA), were conducted. While the FE model was able to simulate the actual strain behavior for the stiffened elements of the compression chord CFS section, the measured and numerically predicted strain values differ significantly for the lip part of the section. Additional analytical studies were conducted in order to predict the behavior of composite trusses without the need of detailed analysis or load tests. The procedure adopted for the analytical approach is based on calculating the chord cross-sectional strain and then determining the initial stiffness, yield and maximum load capacities using this strain information.

Experimental investigation of structural systems made of sheathed cold-formed steel wall panels Pehlivan, Barış Mert; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-12) Cold-formed steel (CFS) structural systems are considered to be an innovative and newly developing construction method. Because of advantages such as lower fabrication periods, high strength/weight ratio and ease of construction, CFS structural systems have been used increasingly all around the world, including seismically active areas. Although there have been many studies in the literature, CFS structural systems are relatively new for the civil engineering practice and few existing specifications regardi...
Experimental and analytical investigation of cold-formed steel floor trusses under gravity loading Dizdar, Çağan; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) Cold-Formed Steel structures are getting increasingly popular in the market with their economic and short construction duration advantages. One of the most common floor system used in CFS buildings utilizes trusses made of CFS members. Despite their increasing use, behavior of CFS floor trusses has been the subject of very limited research. The governing failure mode of these structures under gravity loading is usually local buckling of compression chord elements. Therefore, a reliable design of such struct...
Cost efficiency analyses of steel frameworks for economical design of multi-storey buildings Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2017-01-01) In the present study cost efficiencies of various steel frameworks are investigated for economical design of multistorey buildings. A total of thirteen steel frames that incorporate various types of beam-column connection and bracing configuration are considered for detailed and comparative cost analyses. The three multi-storey buildings consisting of 10, 20 and 30 floors are stiffened according to each of the thirteen steel frameworks to yield thirty-nine test frames for numerical applications. First desig...
EVALUATION OF SEISMIC ENERGY IN SIMPLE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS USING SIMULATED GROUND MOTIONS Karım Zadeh Naghshıneh, Shaghayegh; Ozsarac, Volkan; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (null; 2018-06-25) In recent years, there has been a strong interest on energy-based design and assessment methods for structural systems. The underlying research has been mostly performed using real ground motion records taken from existing earthquakes worldwide. Results may involve bias due to lack of homogeneity of the available ground motion dataset in terms of magnitudes, source to site distances or soil conditions. In this study a large set of ground motion records is simulated within a parametric exercise to investigat...
Development of Fragility Curves for Single-Column RC Italian Bridges Using Nonlinear Static Analysis Perdomo, Camilo; Monteiro, Ricardo; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Informa UK Limited, 2020-05-07) The main objective of this study is to assess the accuracy and suitability of Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSPs) in the development of analytical damage fragility curves for seismic risk assessment of large portfolios of Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges. Seven NSP approaches, from widely used single-mode conventional pushover-based approaches to the more rigorous multi-mode conventional or adaptive pushover-based procedures are implemented. By systematically comparing fragility curve estimations in terms of...
