Abstract
The thesis presents an analytical and experimental investigation of the cold-formed steel in moment resisting frames. Three dimensional non-linear finite element analyses have been performed for cold-formed steel beam-to-column connections under both monotonic and cyclic loading. Furthermore, experimental investigation has been conducted for full-scale models to test the real behavior of the connection in question under both monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. Several parameters have been examined: profiles of cold-formed C-sections, profile slenderness, vertical stiffener configurations, and horizontal stiffener configurations. The energy dissipation through both element and connection hysteretic behaviors has been also reported analytically and experimentally
