2. Steel frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_frame

   Steel frame is a building technique with a "skeleton frame" of vertical steel columns and horizontal I-beams, constructed in a rectangular grid to support the floors, roof and walls of a building which are all attached to the frame. The development of this technique made the construction of the skyscraper possible.

3. Cold-formed steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold-formed_steel

   Cold-formed steel framing (CFSF) refers specifically to members in light-frame building construction that are made entirely of sheet steel, formed to various shapes at ambient temperatures. The most common shape for CFSF members is a lipped channel, although "Z", "C", tubular, "hat" and other shapes and variations have been used.

4. Shear wall - Wikipedia

   Therefore, there are four critical failure mechanisms; as shown in Figure 1. The factors determining the failure mechanism include geometry, loading, material properties, restraint, and construction. Shear walls may also be constructed using light-gauge steel diagonal bracing members tied to collector and ancor points.

   Steel Smart System (SSS): SSS is a software tool that aids architects, engineers and contractors in the design and optimization of structures built from light gauge steel. [21] Steel Smart Decks (SSD): SSD is a software tool developed to automate the process of deck system design using cold formed steel. [22]

6. Roll forming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll_forming

   Roll forming, also spelled roll-forming or rollforming, is a type of rolling involving the continuous bending of a long strip of sheet metal (typically coiled steel) into a desired cross-section. The strip passes through sets of rolls mounted on consecutive stands, each set performing only an incremental part of the bend, until the desired ...

7. Truss connector plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_connector_plate

   A truss connector plate is manufactured from ASTM A653/A653M, A591, A792/A792M, or A167 structural quality steel and is protected with zinc or zinc-aluminum alloy coatings or their stainless steel equivalent. Metal connector plates are manufactured with varying length, width and thickness (or gauge) and are designed to laterally transmit loads ...
