Active cold-formed steel research started in the early 70s at the University of Waterloo with Profs. N.C. Lind, A.N. Sherbourne, J. Roorda, and R.M. Schuster, and their respective graduate students. More recently, Prof. L. Xu and his graduate students have also contributed in this area of research. Numerous publications have been documented in National and International sources over the past 35 years. Presented in this paper are the many noteworthy contributions that have been made as a result of the cold-formed steel research activities at the University of Waterloo. What is of particular interest is the number of design recommendations that have been adopted by National and International coldformed steel design Standards and Specifications. With the recently formed Canadian Cold-Formed Steel Research Group, cold-formed steel research is very much alive at the University of Waterloo. © 2006 Springer.
