Light Steel Frame System that is briefly called LSF is a building system which is used for implying of short-rise and mid-rise buildings (up to 5 floors). It's a desirable building system for civil engineers (in terms of gravity and lateral load) in developed countries. Despite the relatively significant growth of LSF structures during the last decade in our country, the studies in this field have been still done neither in our country nor in abroad. In this article, we try to study LSF structures from the design and implementation stages to the operation one and identify its risks exactly and finally offer a solution with classifying and prioritizing them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
