Cold-Formed Steel Structure for Mid-Rise Residential Building: A Literature Review

The cold-formed steel structure is a new construction material technology now being utilized in construction. Purlins, ceiling joists, wall studs, and frameworks have all been made from these materials. The use of cold-formed steel as the primary structural member emerges due to the shortage of wood and the challenge of obtaining alternative and cost-effective materials for construction. Small-to medium-rise buildings have used this cold-formed steel frame. This cold-formed steel's mechanical and other structural qualities must be determined to verify that the building or structure is structurally sound and safe. Contrasting and comparing these various properties and how they can affect them is, therefore, the goal of this literature review.
