Experimental Study of Cold‐Formed Steel Floor Joists under Serviceability Limit State
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 2259-2264, September 2026.Abstract Cold‐formed steel (CFS) floor joists are increasingly utilised in mid‐rise building construction owing to their high strength‐to‐weight ratio, fabrication efficiency, and ease of installation. These floor joists are typically configured as truss systems with top and bottom chords fabricated from unlipped channels, and diagonal web channels ...

Analysis of high‐rise buildings equipped with innovative section‐eccentric outrigger belt trusses
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1435-1441, September 2026.ABSTRACT In high rise building design, strengthened storeys with outrigger trusses are commonly used to transfer the horizontal loads from the core of the structure to the peripheral columns. However, outrigger trusses configured with conventional steel braces (CSB) suffer from certain drawbacks correlated with the increase in stiffness of the ...

Structural Behaviour of Lattice Cells Under Compressive Loading Enabled by WAAM
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 516-521, September 2026.Abstract Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), a rapidly evolving metal 3D printing (Additive manufacturing) technology, offers opportunities for realizing large‐scale structural elements with complex geometries. The current study introduces a novel class of lattice steel elements developed by integrating WAAM process constraints with structural ...

Simultaneous Topology, Shape and Size Optimisation of 2D Trusses with Practical Constraints
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 692-697, September 2026.Abstract This study introduces a novel optimisation methodology for 2D trusses, based on genetic algorithms. It combines topology, shape and size optimisation into a single procedure, while bridging the gap to practical application. This is achieved by including Eurocode EN 1993‐1‐1 deflection and capacity checks, using discrete section sizes from a ...

Practical Truss Layout Optimisation with Connection Penalisation
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 686-691, September 2026.Abstract This study introduces a layout optimisation framework for minimum volume truss structures that explicitly accounts for connection complexity. Conventional minimum volume formulations identify material‐efficient layouts but often yield designs with excessive nodal connectivity and many lightly loaded members, making them impractical and costly ...
