Summary:

Prepared by the Committee on Cold-Formed Steel and the Committee on Metal of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report documents the current practices related to bracing cold-formed steel structure elements and systems. Heavy on applications and examples, this book contains design examples illustrating bracing design for various types of cold-formed steel structures, as well as an extensive list of primary reference sources. Topics include: introduction to bracing design; cold-formed framing; cold-formed steel in metal building systems; and miscellaneous cold-formed steel elements and systems. This report is presented as a design guide and will assist the practicing engineer in designing cold-formed steel structures with greater levels of reliability, safety, and economy.
