This technology enables high-volume production and construction of cold-formed steel buildings from villas to warehouses, by accurately cutting, punching and dimpling the steel.

Introduction A common means to construct the lateral load resisting system of cold-formed steel structures is to provide diagonal tension-only strap braces in the walls, as shown in Fig.

Lightweight construction materials include laminated wood I-beams, plate-connected wood floor trusses and light gauge cold-formed steel, and are commonly used in construction as less expensive alternatives to dimensional lumber, concrete and heavier steel beams.

Ecolite's patent-pending system combines cold-formed steel studs and proprietary light weight concrete, resulting in a panelized wall system that can be rapidly deployed into building projects.

The accel-E wall panel system combines the strength and performance of cold-formed steel framing with the superior insulation properties of expandable polystyrene," said Andy Claypole, president of ACCELERATED Building Technologies.

Introduction Design guidelines for laterally loaded light-gauge (cold-formed) steel-frame--wood structural panel shear walls are not available in the 2005 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) (NRCC 2005) or in the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard S136, North American specification for the design of cold-formed steel structural members (CSA 2001).
