Sheathing Bracing for Cold-formed Steel by selvakanmanisiva is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper investigates the minimum sheathing bracing requirements to prevent lateral torsional buckling in cold-formed steel members under out-of-plane loading. The study highlights the absence of explicit sheathing provisions in current design specifications and presents findings from 70 full-scale tests that demonstrate the significant bracing effect of sheathing on the strength of CFS studs. Recommendations for minimum sheathing requirements based on failure modes and slenderness of the studs are provid
