This Tech Note Updates and Replaces Tech Note G802-13
Summary: AISI S100, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members Section A3.1, Applicable Steels, provides a list of pre-qualified steels that can be used without restriction. The Specification also permits steels that are not listed in Section A3.1 to be used without restriction. This Tech note provides specific examples to demonstrate how to implement Section A3.2, Other Steels.

Tech Note L200-09: Roof Framing Anchorage Forces: MWFRS or C&C
Summary: This Technical Note defines the two levels of force and discusses the effects of using Component and Cladding (C&C) loads versus Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS) calculated uplift loads. Design examples are provided to indicate the difference in roof-to-wall anchorage force for either type of load. Mainstream reference standards and quotes from field experts are cited when discussing the appropriate levels for calculating the uplift forces.

Tech Note F101-12: Screws for Cold-Formed Steel-To-Wood and Wood-To-Cold-Formed Steel Attachments
Summary: Screws are often used to attach cold-formed steel (CFS) framing to wood members or wood structural panel decking to CFS joists or rafters. The AISI North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI S100) provides design equations for screw connection capacity for CFS members. The National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) provides design equations for fastener/connection capacity (nails, wood screws, bolts, etc.) in wood members. The Engineered Wood Association (APA) and the building codes offer several resources for determining the capacity of screw connections attaching wood sheathing. This Tech Note reviews these resources and discusses design and detailing of these fastener connections.
