Student Activity: Toward a More Sustainable Campus through Innovative Design and Practical Application
Mr. Diyari Burhan Hussein, lecturer and researcher in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Cihan University Sulaimaniya published a groundbreaking research article in one of the world’s leading scientific journals in the field of structural engineering entitled:
(Investigating the Factors Influencing the Strength of Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) Sections).
The utilization of cold-formed steel (CFS) sections in construction has become widespread due to their favorable attributes, including their lightweight properties, high strength, recyclability, and ease of assembly. To ensure their continued safe and efficient utilization, this review provides a comprehensive investigation into the factors influencing the strength of CFS members. This analysis encompasses design codes, prediction methodologies, material properties, and various structural configurations. This review uncovers discrepancies among existing design codes, particularly noting conservative predictions in AISI and AS/NZS standards for composite and built-up sections. Additionally, the effectiveness of prediction methods such as the direct strength method and effective width method varies based on specific structural configurations and loading conditions.
The International Journal of Buildings (MDPI), in which this research is featured, boasts impressive academic credentials. With an Impact Factor of 3.8 and a Cite Score of 3.1, it occupies a significant position in the realm of scholarly publications. Moreover, it is indexed in prominent databases such as the DOAJ database, Scopus Q1, and Web of Science by Clarivate Analytics.
