Preface
This book describes the structural behavior and design of
cold-formed steel structural members, connections, and
systems. Cold-formed members are often more dif®cult to
design than conventional hot-rolled members because of
their thinness and the unusual shapes that can be roll-
formed. Design engineers familiar with hot-rolled design
can sometimes ®nd cold-formed design a daunting task.
The main objective of this book is to provide an easy
introduction to the behavior of cold-formed members and
connections with simple worked examples. Engineers
familiar with hot-rolled design should be able to make the
step to cold-formed design more easily using this text. The
book is in line with the latest edition of the American Iron
and Steel Institute (AISI) Speci®cation for the Design of
Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (1996), including
the latest amendment (Supplement 1 1999) published in
July 2000.

The book describes the main areas of cold-formed
members, connections, and systems in routine use today.
It presents the history and applications of cold-formed steel
design in Chapter 1, cold-formed steel materials in Chapter
2, and buckling modes of thin-walled members in Chapter
3. These three chapters provide a basic understanding of
how cold-formed steel design differs from hot-rolled steel
design. Chapters 4 to 9 follow the approach of a more
conventional text on structural steel design, with Chapter
4 on elements, Chapter 5 on ¯exural members, Chapter 6
on webs, Chapter 7 on compression members, Chapter 8 on
combined compression and bending, and Chapter 9 on
connections. Chapters 10 and 11 apply the member
design methods to common systems in which cold-formed
steel is used, roof and wall systems in Chapter 10 and steel
storage racks in Chapter 11. Chapter 12 gives a glimpse
into the future of cold-formed steel design where the direct
strength method is introduced. This method based on the
®nite strip method of structural analysis introduced in
Chapter 3 and currently under consideration by the AISI
Speci®cation Committee, gives a simpler and more direct
approach to design than the current effective width
approach. Residential framing is not covered in a separate
chapter since the design methods in Chapters 4 to 9 are
appropriate for members and connections used in wall
framing and roof trusses.
The book has been based on a similar one, Design of
Cold-Formed Steel Structures, written by the ®rst author
and published by the Australian Institute of Steel
Construction in 1988, 1994, and 1998 with design to the
Australian=New Zealand Standard AS=NZS 4600, which is
similar to the AISI Speci®cation. The Australian book is
completely in SI units to the Australian standard, whereas
this book is written in U.S. customary units to the AISI
speci®cation.
The worked examples in Chapters 4±8, 10 and 11 have
all been programmed as MATHCAD

ensure their accuracy. Hence, the numerical values quoted
in these chapters are taken directly from MATHCAD
TM
and have been rounded to the appropriate number of
signi®cant ®gures at each output. Rounding is therefore
not included in the computation as it would be if the values
were rounded progressively as is done in manual calcula-
tions. The ®nal values quoted in the book at the end of the
examples can therefore be compared directly with those
obtained using other computer software.
The book has involved substantial work to convert it
from the Australian version, with new Chapters 1 and 10
being written by the third and second authors, respectively.
The text was typed by Gwenda McJannet, and the draw-
ings were prepared by Mr. Ron Brew and Ms. Kim Pham,
all at the University of Sydney. We are grateful to these
people for their careful work. The ®rst author is grateful for
the advice on cold-formed steel design from Professor
Teoman Peko
È
z at Cornell University and Emeritus Profes-
sor Wei-Wen Yu at the University of Missouri±Rolla over
many years.
The assistance of Dr. Ben Schafer at Johns Hopkins
University with Chapter 12 is appreciated.
