Funded Activity Summary

Novel Shelters Using Sheathed Cold–formed Steel Framing Systems. Safe shelters are needed within residential, school and commercial building systems to prevent the loss of lives during natural disasters. This project aims to understand how the fire, cyclone and earthquake resistance of shelters can be increased by using a new cold-formed and rivet fastened hollow flange section as studs and joists within the lightweight steel frame wall, and floor systems with superior configurations that are lined with thin steel sheet and thermally superior boards. Experimental and numerical studies will be used to enhance our understanding of these novel and more complex systems and develop safer shelter systems at low cost. They can also be used in many other applications based on the emerging modular building concept.
