ABSTRACT: The technical and economic efficiency of cold-formed steel structures, which usually are of
thin walled sections, is strongly dependent on the ability of the designer to manage the instability problems
and optimize the connection detailing. Due to complicate shapes of cold-formed steel sections, the instability
interaction and non-conv ...
