Design and Assessment of Frameless Steel Corrugated Systems

Overview

Low-rise long-span steel structural systems are commonly used for non-residential buildings in Canada and the United States. These structures are typically designed using hot-rolled steel sections. In recent years, due to its lightweight nature, high initial stiffness, and economical advantages, cold-form steel corrugated walls (CFSCW) have been used to replace hot-rolled steel sections and other concrete sections. In this study, a novel CFSCWs without boundary frames is proposed for non-residential building applications, known as Frameless Systems.
