Experimental studies showed that vertical cracks appeared along the cold-formed steel or the steel sheet on the adaptive-slit shear walls when the wall was subjected to horizontal earthquake loading, and the adaptive-slit shear wall experienced the loading process from the whole wall section to the slitted wall section. So the appearance and development of the vertical cracks can reflect the seismic behavior of adaptive-slit shear walls. According to the mechanical characteristics of the adaptive-slit shear walls, this paper proposed a method to calculate the cracking load. It is found that the calculated results has a good agreement with the experimental results.

Within the WELLFORMED research project, ongoing at the CEMSIG Research Center of the Politehnica University of Timisoara, a new technological solution was proposed for built-up beams made of corrugated steel sheets for the web and thin-walled cold-formed steel profiles for the flanges, connected by spot welding. The research project integrates an extensive experimental program on such beams, using full scale specimens, to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solutions and to assess their performance, followed by numerical simulations to characterize and optimize the connecting details. The present paper presents the results of a large experimental program, on small specimens subjected to shear, consisting of two or three layers of steel sheet connected by spot welding.

Most cold-formed steel columns display open and rather thin-walled cross-sections which mean that their structural behaviour is strongly affected by local and global buckling. Th e local mode, that occurs for shorter profi les, is characterized by (i) the local plate mode (LPM) characterized by the simultaneous flexural buckling of the web and fl anges and (ii) by the distortional mode (DM) characterized by the displacements of flange-stiff ener edges (that remain plane). The global mode occurring for long profi les is characterized by (i) the fl exural mode (FM) characterized by the translation of the whole section in the direction of the major principal axis and (ii) by the fl exural-torsional mode (FTM) characterized by the simultaneous translation and rotation of the whole section. Th e possibility of using the results of linear stability analysis in the national codes of thin-walled cold-formed steel structural elements (for instance, European and Brazilian Codes) arises, i.e. local and global buckling instability modes and corresponding bifurcation stresses determining the ultimate strength of members. Two powerful numerical methods are chosen to perform a linear stability analysis of a cold-formed steel structural member: (i) the Finite Strip Method, (i1) the Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method (trigonometric functions are used in the approximation of displacement) used for simply supported boundary conditions, (i2) the Spline Finite Strip Method (‘spline’ functions are used in the approximation of displacement) used other boundary conditions and (ii) the Finite Element Method. The linear local and global stability results of for Z, C and rack cold-formed columns are used to obtain ultimate strength through the procedures adopted in the Eurocode 3, Part 1.3 and in the Brazilian Code (NBR 14.762/2001). The obtained numerical estimates by specifi cations are compared with experimental results available in literature.
