In a groundbreaking study, a ten-story cold-formed steel structure was put to the test with simulated earthquakes, followed by controlled fire scenarios. The integrity of the building remained intact during these extreme conditions. This vital research aims to guide potential code revisions for taller cold-formed steel buildings, ensuring that future designs are both seismic and fire-resistant.
