Webinar on Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design with Data-Driven Models

Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits

A historical challenge for the cold-formed steel industry has been the generation of many disparate physical test data sets without much dedicated effort on collecting and curating that data. A non-profit data-driven Initiative was recently launched to address this knowledge gap, and the Initiative’s mission is to make high quality physical test data accessible to anyone. This webinar will discuss a plan for using emerging data-driven tools to design cold-formed steel framing. The webinar will present a convincing case for how data-driven models can reduce the hoops an engineer has to jump through to design cold-formed steel framing. Cris will use examples to highlight the first open databases and supporting data tools from the Initiative that are now becoming available.
