Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits Cold-formed steel structural members are commonly subjected to torsion. The torsional behavior of open cross-sections can be complex, involving both warping torsion and St. Venant torsion. Most structural engineering curriculums do not teach this combined torsion response, leaving many engineers with limited ability to properly design for […]
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits Curtain walls with various types of cladding are commonly used for many modern structures and are often framed with cold-formed steel. Curtain walls are typically attached to the main building frame and therefore must be designed to accommodate deflections of the structural frame and also designed to […]

Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits The webinar will cover light gauge steel wall framing and C-joists, composite deck and concrete, precast concrete, steel beams and deck and light gauge steel trusses. It will review wall and floor, fire and sound assemblies, panelization of walls, structural floor systems, lateral stability, roof design, shear […]
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits Building codes are a minimum standard for life safety and do not guarantee property protection or continued building functionality during, or after, severe weather events. This session introduces FORTIFIED, a program of the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). FORTIFIED is a set of superior […]
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits Cold-formed steel (CFS) trusses are widely accepted as a vital delegated design aspect of the structure, yet integration of truss design information into contract documents can present a challenge. CFS truss packages are typically deferred submittals, so it is imperative to have open communication between all involved […]
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits The opportunity for market expansion of cold-formed steel is not in building fewer stories and encroaching on the wood market. It lies instead on building taller and flipping idealized post-tensioned and steel-framed structures to load bearing cold-formed. This presentation will provide the design tools, recommendations, and strategies […]
Part of Live Sessions – Aired on September 3, 2020 Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits As structural engineers, we are very good at designing buildings for loads and resistance, but typically have not had any formal training in things like fire ratings, acoustical ratings, air/vapor/moisture barriers, and how all of these attributes […]
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) provides must-have technical and professional resources for designers of cold-formed steel structures. A valued resource is CFSEI’s Technical Notes series, which includes more than 40 documents. This webinar will provide a summary of the newly implemented CFSEI Beginner Tech Notes series, […]
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits Accommodating lateral building drift for wind and earthquake forces for nonstructural components, like exterior or interior cladding, can be difficult. For exterior envelopes, careful planning is required to ensure compatibility with the primary structure and adjacent framing conditions as well with architectural joint locations. This presentation will […]
Part of Live Sessions – Aired on September 24, 2020 Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits Diaphragms are a key part of the lateral force-resisting system (LFRS) of most cold-formed steel framed structures. Through design examples, this webinar will provide guidance for two types of diaphragm design: 1) Rigid diaphragm design for a […]
Continuing Education Credits Available 1.5 PDH Credits Prefabrication of cold-formed steel (CFS) panels has gained significant ground in the construction market. This is due to several reasons, including speed of construction, better quality control, precoordination with other trades, and the opportunity to prefinish exterior walls. This webinar will provide insights into CFS panelized construction for […]
This Research Report Session was organized by AISI Committee on Specifications and Committee on Framing Standards and covers the following presentations: – CFS Clip Angles with Multiple Lines of Screws (UNT) by Dr. Cheng Yu – Steel Stud Assemblies Bearing on Conc. Slabs – Phase 2 (UM-A) by Dr. Kara Peterman – CFS Design using […]
This Research Report Session was organized by AISI Committee on Specifications and Committee on Framing Standards and covers the following presentations: – Steel Diaphragms Innovation Initiative (JHU-CFSRC) by Dr. Ben Schafer – CFS-NHERI Update (JHU-UCSD-CFSRC) by Dr. Ben Schafer – Testing of Cold-Formed Steel Diaphragms (UM-A) by Dr. Kara Peterman – Overstrength in CFS Framing […]
This webinar was organized by AISI Committee on Specifications and Committee on Framing Standards and presented by Zhanjie Li.
For decades, Power- Actuated Fasteners (PAFs) have been used in the construction industry as a safe, reliable, and productive method to fasten various building components-such as cold-formed steel (CFS) framing-to steel and concrete. Code provisions for the use of PAFs in seismic areas for attachments of cold-formed metal framing to concrete have been subject to […]
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits This webinar will review the fundamentals of cold-formed steel connection behavior and design. The primary focus will be on screw and weld connections; however, a limited discussion of bolt and power-actuated fastener (PAF) connections will also be provided. An overview of the design provisions in AISI S100, […]
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits The North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing – Nonstructural Members, AISI S220, has been adopted into IBC 2015. AISI S220 was created to help delineate and eliminate the confusion between the engineering principles and requirements for cold-formed steel structural members and nonstructural members. The webinar will […]
