A good manual for cold-formed steel design.

A good manual for cold-formed steel design.

A good manual for cold-formed steel design.

(OP)
I am searching for a good manual for cold-formed steel design, is there any one knows a good manual or text book that contains solved examples?

RE: A good manual for cold-formed steel design.

"Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structures to AS/NZS 4600" by Greg Hancock...  The man is one of the world's foremost CFS researchers; I believe he's still the Dean of Engineering at the University of Sydney in Aussie.

Definately a good choice!

HOWEVER, last time I saw it (around mid year 2007) the AS/NSZ 4600:2006 code had numerous errors in it.  Just thought I'd mention, because if you're going to get a copy of 4600 as a reference, make sure you get 1996.

Cheers,

"Metal Building Systems Manual" as published by the MBMA.  1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, OH   44115.

This has a mix of hot and cold rolled information, reading much like the IBC, but having numerous examples.  It was $95.00 when I got mine in 2002.  

Similarly "Low Rise Building Suystems Manual" as published by the MBMA, from 1996, but only $40.00.

Take a look at the book by Wei-Wen Yu.

Try AISI website and look into the 2001 Specifications with 2004 Supplement.  They also have many "Standards" dealing with headers, wall studs, trusses and lateral design.
