| Abstract | ||
| Many countries face challenges in renovating historical houses and residences, particularly those with wooden roofs that have deteriorated over time (Jensen, Maslesa, Berg, & Thuesen, 2018)The designed decking system effectively addresses this issue, offering a modern solution to reinforce and replace aging structures while preserving their historical value. This Paper outlines the evolution of decking system construction utilizing steel and timber. The proposed system integrates cold-formed sigma cross sections with wood-based boards, benefiting from the excellent load-bearing properties of steel and the aesthetic and thermal advantages of wood. This synergy showed a versatile solution particularly well-suited for the renovation of historical buildings and museums. (Henna & M, Numerical study of cold-formed steel sigma sections under combined bending and web crippling action, 2024). The lightweight nature of the system materials allows for substantial structural upgrades and provides safety without compromising the integrity of existing structures (Chandramohan, Roy, Ananthi, Fang, & Lim, 2024).To assess and compare the performance of various composite cold-formed steel (CFS) decking systems, ABAQUS finite element software was employed, focusing on factors such as span variations and stiffened steel flanges. The findings indicate that incorporating solid plates at the system support significantly enhances the load-carrying capacity. This lightweight construction method offers an easy solution that respects architectural integrity while improving structural performance. | ||
