Description

Prepared by the Committee on Cold-Formed Steel and the Committee on Metal of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.

This report documents the current practices related to bracing cold-formed steel structure elements and systems. Heavy on applications and examples, this book contains design examples illustrating bracing design for various types of cold-formed steel structures, as well as an extensive list of primary reference sources.

Topics include:

  • introduction to bracing design;
  • cold-formed framing;
  • cold-formed steel in metal building systems; and
  • miscellaneous cold-formed steel elements and systems.

This report is presented as a design guide and will assist the practicing engineer in designing cold-formed steel structures with greater levels of reliability, safety, and economy.
