Webinar on the Cold-Formed Steel Classroom: Understanding the Fundamentals Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel Members
$100.00
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
The concepts of cold-formed steel behavior and design are not typically taught in engineering schools and therefore engineers are often required to self-teach these concepts. Therefore, if you are an entry level structural engineer, or a seasoned veteran, this CFSEI lecture is intended to provide a fundamental understanding of the some of the behavior and design principles for cold-formed steel members and connections. Roger will draw on lecture materials used in his semester course and three-day short course to explain the unique aspects of cold-formed steel behavior and design principles of AISI S100. The seminar will also discuss the roll-out of a new CFSEI Six-Hour lecture series that provides an overview of cold-formed steel member and connection behavior and design.

Webinar on Cold-Formed Steel Curtain Wall Design
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 transfer wind and seismic forces to the structure. This webinar will cover many of the topics a designer will need for a complete cold-formed steel curtain wall design. The information presented will be based upon AISI S100, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, AISI S211, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing – Wall Stud Design and various CFSEI Technical Notes. Some specific topics covered will include stud design, top track design, design of openings, bridging and various additional miscellaneous topics. Example calculations will also be provided covering studs, top track, connections and openings.

Webinar on Cold-Formed Steel Connection Applications
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
This webinar will explore common cold-formed steel connection applications with an emphasis on clip angles. Until AISI D114, Cold-Formed Steel Clip Angle Design Guide was issued in 2021, there was no recognized design approach for clip angles. Based on research at the University of North Texas, a better understanding of the behavior and therefore the design requirements are now available.
Connection design information provided by AISI D110, Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Guide, AISI D112, Brick Veneer Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Guide and CFSEI Tech Notes will also be discussed.

Webinar on the Built-Up Member Design Considerations
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
What can be done when a structural member requires a high-load capacity? The common solution is to design a built-up profile consisting of two or more cold-formed steel (CFS) framing sections. Built-up profiles use common CFS framing members, such as shear wall boundary studs, floor joists, stud packs and headers. This webinar will review the applicable AISI S100, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and AISI S240, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing design provisions for two types of built-up profiles — built-up compression members and built-up flexural members. The webinar will review the member limit states of global buckling, local buckling and distortional buckling. It will also provide guidance for achieving adequate interconnection of the individual profiles.

Webinar on Vibration Serviceability of Floors with Cold-Formed Steel Framing
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
Cold-formed steel (CFS) joists and trusses have high strength-to-weight ratios and good overall economy, so they are popular choices for floor framing members. As is the case with most types of floor systems, CFS floors are potentially susceptible to vibrations due to walking and other human activities. This webinar will raise awareness of the importance of vibration serviceability by describing two forensics projects with lively CFS floors. The literature contains several floor vibration evaluation methods that might be applicable to CFS floor. However, unlike other materials, there is not a widely accepted and practical vibration evaluation method for CFS floors. Potential evaluation methods will be discussed.

Webinar on Updates to the AISI North American Specification and Standards
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has been involved in the support of research and the development and maintenance of cold-formed steel codes, standards and specifications for 90 years. AISI sought American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accreditation and was approved as a developer of American National Standards in 1999.
AISI S100, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and the suite of AISI framing standards are the referenced documents for cold-formed steel design in the International Building Code. Every few years, AISI updates the Specification and standards to add new provisions based on the latest information from research and industry. These updates can deliver improved methods for analyzing members, provide new considerations when designing members and connections, and directly impact the design of floor, wall and roof systems. This webinar will review all of the relevant changes to these AISI documents and how they are intended for implementation into the applicable building codes.
