Abstract: As much as natural resources are decreasing, the people are focusing on finding alternative solutions to classical ones or to find new approaches to their concerning. In the last years the field of building materials is very active, there are a lot of new discoveries regarding innovative materials with higher level of technical performance but they are involving huge fabrication costs. Another important direction is that who develops higher efficiency elements by using new processing technologies and the same raw materials as classical solutions do. The field of cold-formed steel elements is continuously developing, as a result of their use in increasingly more fields due to their multiple advantages regarding structural efficiency, raw material economy and recycling.
