Cold-formed light gauge steel for rapid deployable shelters

A pre-designed system of building a shelter is to be developed so that temporary residential houses can be provided for a disaster zone in the shortest possible time. This project focused on the structural frame of the shelter and only deals with static gravitational load. Brisk Monster is hence dev...
