Abstract sheathed light gauge steel lgs shear walls are often used in structures as load bearing elements against wind and earthquake actions. Area it wasn t a big surprise to find out that only about one third of the group had experience with light frame shear wall design.

More rationally address shear wall design in high seismic regions. Structural design of light gauge steel cold formed steel since the light gauge steel members are usually so thin these thin elements may buckle at stress levels less than the yield point if they are subjected to compression shear bending or bearing.

And gage minimum fastener penetration in framing minimum panel thiickness minimum nominal width. Withdrawn purchase updated monotonic tests of cold formed steel shear walls with openings. As indicated some of the values have been approved by national codes while more recent values are proposed for inclusion. Local buckling of these thin elements is one of the major design criteria.

Shear wall design data tables 1 2 and 3 give nominal ultimate strengths for the design of shear walls with cold formed steel framing. The design of walls is often complicated by the lack of analytical methods for the evaluation of the strength and rigidity.
