This monograph presents the experimental studies and computational modelling of Cold-Formed Steel Shear Wall panels (CFSSWP) under in-plane shear loading. The CFSSWP is the main lateral load resisting element in CFS housing system under earthquake type loading. The nonlinear behaviour of CFSSWP is dictated by the screw connections between the CFS members and the sheathing. This monograph presents the experimental studies on wall panels and its screw connection sub assemblage under monotonic and reversed cyclic loading. To develop the Finite element model of CFSSWP based on screw behaviour, a...
