Over the last few years there have been major breakthroughs for cold-formed steel design with modular building applications now becoming more widely accepted. Other scientific developments include research on system reliability applications, AI machine learning, and the use of high strength steel, as well as new connection methods and changes in DSM codes. Recent Trends in Cold-Formed Steel Construction, Second Edition is focused on the application and use of this important construction material in buildings. In this fully updated new edition additional chapters have been included to take on board these new developments.

The book addresses cutting-edge new technologies and design methods for using cold-formed steel as a structural material and provides technical guidance on how to design and build sustainable and energy-efficient cold-formed steel buildings. Part One of the book introduces the codes, specifications, and design methods for cold-formed steel structures, while Part Two provides computational analysis of cold-formed steel structures. Part Three examines the structural performance of cold-formed steel buildings and reviews the thermal performance, acoustic performance, fire protection, floor vibrations, and blast resistance of these buildings, with a final section reviewing innovation and sustainability in cold-formed steel construction.
