requires that selected ductile components yield, but continue to carry loads and absorb energy through
significant plastic response. At the same time potentially brittle failure modes, such as column buckling
or connection failure must be prevented. The design challenge for cold-formed steel is to ensure that
building components, and in particular shear panel components, be proportioned
