There are many advantages of the cold-formed steel members as compared to other members are follows:
- Members are light in weight.
- Sections have High strength and stiffness.
- The erection and installation procedure is very easy.
- The conventional connection methods like riveting, bolting or welding can be used.
- The construction process does not need any kind of formwork.
- The desired shape and desired length are obtained by prefabrication process.
- The transportation cost is lower as the lightweight sections are available.
- The recycling of this type of material is possible easily.
- The termite-proof and rot proof sections are prefabricated.
- As compared to the hot rolled section the greater moment carrying capacity is possible due to the thinner wall sections
