Tech Note 562-22: Powder-Actuated Fasteners in Cold-Formed Steel Construction
This Technical Note updates and replaces Tech Note 562
Summary: Power-actuated fasteners (PAF’s) are industry standard for attachment of cold-formed steel (CFS) steel framing members, usually track, to concrete, CMU or steel structural elements. “Power-actuated” is the broad category used to refer to fasteners which are driven directly through the CFS and into the substrate, using a powder, gas, compressed air or electro-mechanically driven tool. Efficient installation of framing systems is greatly enhanced by the use of PAF’s. For CFS-to-steel applications, the specification AISI S100 addresses all relevant limit states with equations and safety/ resistance factors. For CFS-to-concrete, limited guidance is provided but not all limit states are covered. This technical note will provide design guidance based on AISI S100, as well as installation and good detailing practice.

Tech Note W102-21: Introduction to Curtain Wall Design using Cold-Formed Steel
Summary: A curtain wall can be defined as a non-vertically loaded exterior wall (aside for self-weight) support by the primary structural frame of the building. When it comes to cold-formed steel framing, this definition can encompass a great many possible assemblies and applications. This Technical Note discusses the various structural elements of a curtain wall system, and introduces the subjects of design loads and framing analysis.

Tech Note T100-12: Fire Assemblies of Cold-Formed Steel Construction
Summary: Cold-formed steel has been widely used in commercial buildings, especially in non-load bearing (partitions) and curtain wall applications. Cold-formed steel sections are increasingly used as primary structural members, such as beams and columns, or as load-bearing walls or partitions in commercial and residential construction. In most cases, these members are required to be fire resistant where they are part of a compartment’s wall or floor, or where they support other floors. The purpose of this Tech Note is to provide the user with a comprehensive list of resources summarizing available tested fire rated steel assemblies, building code requirements, test methods and applicable
references.

Tech Note FC101-22: Design of Cold-Formed Steel Rim Track
Summary: Cold-formed steel floor, roof, soffit, and ceiling joists are widely used in commercial applications. End of the joist rim track is an important component of many floor/roof/ceiling/soffit systems used to transfer load from the joist to another component of the structure. This Technical Note provides an overview of different rim track applications and how each is designed.

Tech Note F102-21: Screw Fastener Selection For Cold-Formed Steel Frame Construction
This Technical Note updates and replaces CFSEI Tech Note F102-11
Summary: Specifying the proper fastener is necessary to assure the proper performance of the connections used in cold-formed steel construction. Cold-formed steel connections primarily utilize externally threaded fasteners, so embedment is not the controlling parameter. Instead, the design of the fastener along with the thickness of the steel govern the value of the connection. This Tech Note provides basic information for determining the appropriate screw type for various applications.
