Analysis and design of midrise built-up cold-formed steel structures

该项目将为冷弯型钢中层建筑的设计提供分析和计算基础。它将通过使用组合截面实现具有高柱承载力和高横向承载力的解决方案，从而克服目前用冷弯型钢建造高达10层建筑物的障碍，并实现绿色，完全可回收和快速建造的建筑物。将进行实验、分析和计算研究，并将其综合成有效的设计指南，供执业工程师使用，包括在中层建筑物的系统层面进行结构可靠性分析，这些建筑物采用创新的组合多截面柱和集成剪力板。

The project will develop an analytical and computational basis for designing midrise buildings in cold-formed steel. It will enable solutions with high column capacities and high lateral load resistance to be realised by using built-up sections, thus overcoming the current barrier to constructing buildings up to 10 storeys from cold-formed steel and enabling green, fully recyclable and rapidly constructed buildings to be achieved. Experimental, analytical and computational studies will be undertaken and synthesised into efficient design guidelines for practising engineers, including structural reliability analyses at system level of midrise buildings featuring innovative built-up multi-section columns and integrated shear panels.
