Abstract

The paper mainly focuses on the advantages of light gauge steel structures over conventionally designed steel buildings. The different fields of comparison mainly constitute its cost effectiveness, time saving, future scope, subtleness and economy of light gauge steel structures over conventionally engineered buildings and its importance in developing nations like India. It’s a case study for Industry Shed based on the review and various case studies which shows their experimental and analytical studies carried out in this field. The result shows that these structures are economical, energy efficient and flexible in design. Cold-formed steel (CFS) members have been used in buildings, bridges, storage racks, grain bins, car bodies, railway coaches, highway products, transmission towers, transmission poles, drainage facilities, various types of equipment and others. These types of sections are cold-formed from steel sheet, strip, and plate or flat bar in roll forming machines or by press brakes (machine press) or bending operations. This project will focus on implementation of light gauge steel frame throughout the construction industry and to reduce the energy consumption in buildings. The literatures are reviewed based on identifying light gauge steel framed system in respective literature and the reviews are grouped accordingly. In past literatures were observed are Coldformed steel members can be assembled in various combinations to provide cost-efficient and safe light gauge floor system for buildings. In generally, it will be performed by under seismic response recommendation.
