The importance and usefulness of the risk metrics are highlighted and adopted as an indicator to explore the behavioural features of the CFS-SWP structural system. Further, the probabilistic seismic risk assessment of the studied frames, is presented. The results indicate that a behaviour factor q equal to 2 is appropriate for CFS framed structures using wood-sheathed SWPs lateral load resisting system designed for low and moderate seismicity regions. The seismic performance assessment was evaluated according to the methodology defined in FEMA P695. In order to study the seismic performance and determine the seismic performance factors, Incremental Dynamic Analysis of 54 archetype buildings was performed in OpenSees. To simulate their nonlinear behaviour, the structures were modelled adopting a recently developed deteriorating hysteresis model. Our team uses Building Information Modelling to perform all detailing and drawings, these models are the industry standard for collaboration between consultants and contractors which allow for clash detection, interference review and coordination.This paper presents a numerical simulation aimed at analysing the seismic performance of low- and mid-rise cold-formed steel (CFS) framed buildings, employing wood-sheathed shear wall panels (SWPs), designed according to a seismic design procedure compatible with the framework of the Eurocodes. The cold-formed steel prefabricated systems can be installed with any floor system including composite metal deck systems which are much lighter than conventional concrete floors which allow for trickle down savings all the way to the foundation. Our installation team is in-house and have been installation cold-formed steel prefabricated systems for over three decades, we are trusted builders in the community and take excellence in our work. Our packages can include all wind-bearing walls to allow for the complete enclosure of the building envelope which will have exterior sheathing ready for finishing trades and contractors. Our systems can be designed by your engineers with or without our engineering support team, we are flexible and can assist or provide solutions with our systems such as long-spans, retrofits, fire and acoustic, special loading, etc. No project is too small or large for our staff, we’ve worked on single-family homes to 10 storey hotels. This includes supply of labour, supervision, project management, and equipment required for project construction. We provide estimation, engineering support, fabrication drawings, and installation for all our systems.
