Conclusion

This chapter discusses the differences between cold rolled steel and hot rolled steel for structural design. It explains the concepts of "effective width" and "effective section" used in analysis and design of cold rolled steel sections. It also discusses considerations for designing cold rolled steel beams and provides formulas for limit state design of beams made with cold rolled sections. Thin cold rolled steel products are widely used in light steel frame construction in Western countries for buildings. In India, industrialized production and delivery of cold rolled steel products has the potential to substantially increase housing construction rates while using the same resources. Light steel frames also provide benefits like reduced cracks, better acoustics and insulation, and adequate corrosion protection.

5.11 Concluding remarks
In this chapter the difference between cold rolled steel and hot rolled steel
has been discussed and the merits of the former are outlined. The concepts of
"effective width" and "effective section" employed in the analysis and design of
cold rolled section have been explained. The difference between "stiffened" and
"unstiffened" elements has been explained. Considerations in the design of cold
rolled beams have been explained and formulae employed for the limit state
design of beams made of cold rolled sections have been provided.

In the two preceeding chapters on cold rolled steel, a detailed discussion
of design of elements made from it has been provided, the major differences
between the hot rolled steel products and cold rolled steel products outlined and
the principal advantages of using the latter in construction summarized. Design
methods, including methods based on prototype testing and empirical design
procedures have been discussed in detail.

Thin steel products are extensively used in building industry in the western
world and this range from purlins and lintels to roof sheeting and decking. Light
steel frame construction is often employed in house building and is based on
industrialized manufacture of standardized components, which ensure a high
quality of materials of construction. The most striking benefit of all forms of light
steel framing is their speed of construction, ease of handling and savings in site
supervision and elimination of wastage in site, all of which contribute to overall
economy.

In the Indian context, industrialized methods of production and delivery of
cold rolled steel products to site have the potential to build substantially more
houses than is otherwise possible, with the same cash flow, thus freeing capital
and financial resources for other projects. Other advantages include elimination
of shrinkage and movement cracks, greater environmental acceptability and less
weather dependency. Properly constructed light steel frames are adaptable to
future requirements and will provide high acoustic performance and a high
degree of thermal insulation. Provided the sheets are pre-galvanised, the
members provide adequate corrosion protection when used close to the
boundaries of the building envelope. The design life of these products exceeds
60 years.
