Abstract
Cold-formed steel truss system was reviewed in order to improve the various problems associated with the steel floor joist system, such as the structural deficiency caused by web punching and others. Two types of floor truss system using cold-formed steel were reviewed during this research project, including the square end type(SE type) and underslung type(EE type). The strctural behavior was analyzed using the AISI design criteria and various bending tests. Test results show that the SE type floor truss proved to be more efficient than the EE type when it is subjected to concentrated load, and that the unbraced length of the floor truss about the weak axis has much importance on the buckling strength of the floor truss. Test results indicate that their values surpass the calculated values predicated through the AISI design criteria.
