This　paper　presents　an　experimental　investigation　of　the　behavior　of　cold-formed　steel　(CFS)　framed　walls　sheathed　by　steel　sheets　subjected　to　both　lateral　and　gravity　loads.　The　research　focuses　were　on　the　collapse　limit　of　the　CFS　shear　wall　using　steel　sheet　sheathing　and　the　shear　resistance　of　CFS　bearing　walls.　The　test　results　showed　that　the　gravity　load　has　limited　impact　to　the　CFS　shear　wall＇s　behavior　and　performance.　The　CFS　bearing　wall　could　provide　considerable　shear　resistance　and　it　shall　be　considered　in　numerical　modeling　CFS　buildings.
