ABSTRACT
In the first part of the paper, three examples of sustainable mixed building technologies are presented, which, for the main frame, combine cold-formed with hot-rolled steel sections, using timber for floor joists and cladding studs. In the second part of the paper, two examples of single-family houses made of cold-formed steel wall studs sheathed with OSB are detailed. The buildings are located in moderate seismic regions. The paper presents aspects related to design and detailing, including aspects of structural features. For structural design, a prescriptive method was applied, based on the test results on full-scale shear wall panels made of cold-formed steel profiles and OSB panels, under monotonic and cyclic loads. The results of life-cycle analyses of these constructions, compared with various traditional solutions, are also presented.
