A nonlinear finite element model of lightweight walls with cold formed steel members under lateral load

This article presents the results of an investigation aimed at generating finite element models (FEM) for studying lateral load behavior of lightweight walls composed of a typical steel framing and different coating materials. Initially, the elements and connections were characterized with standard...
