A prototype rigid wall relocatable shelter was designed and constructed using cold-formed steel (CFS) construction techniques including shear walls with corrugated sheathings. The design of the shelter was to be mechanically sound with adequate thermal performance and resistance to corrosion. Modeling of structural shear walls was performed using ABAQUS and verified with experimental results. At the project's conclusion, a completed full-scale prototype shelter was constructed.
