Cold-Formed Steel Design
Cold-formed steel has been widely used in buildings, automobiles,
equipment, home and office furniture, utility poles, storage racks,
grain bins, highway products, drainage facilities, and bridges. Its
popularity can be attributed to ease of mass production and
prefabrication, uniform quality, lightweight designs, economy in
transportation and handling, and quick and simple erection or
installation.
Cold-formed steel possesses a significant market share because of its
advantages over other construction materials and the industry-wide
support provided by various organizations that promote cold-formed steel
research and products, including codes and standards development that is
spearheaded by the American Iron and
Steel Institute (AISI).
