How To Design Inexpensive Cold-Formed Steel Commercial Buildings the Right Way

Typically, builders construct commercial buildings such as warehouses and sheds as portal-shaped rigid or semi-rigid framed structures, where the frames spaced parallel to the line of action resist lateral forces in the plane of action. Builders generally use these types of structures as warehouses, storage structures, carports, industrial sheds, agricultural…
