Webinar on ASCE 7-22’s Effect on Non-Structural CFS Component Seismic Loads
$100.00
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
ASCE 7-22 introduces substantial modifications to the way seismic forces on non-structural CFS components are determined. Under the new code, the building’s height and seismic force-resisting system (SFRS) can significantly affect the magnitude of the force. This can lead to adjacent buildings on the same site having vastly different component seismic loads. Sometimes these loads decrease, while other conditions increase to more than 2 times the current seismic load. Unfortunately, interior walls are disproportionately affected. Join this webinar to learn:
- What information is now needed to determine the loads?
- How the new component seismic loads are determined?
- When are the loads higher? When are they lower?
- What CFS non-structural components are most highly impacted?
- How will these modifications affect non-structural CFS interior and exterior framing, along with their connections?

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 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 Overview of the Fundamental Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel Members and Connections
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.

Webinar on Demystifying Cold-Formed Steel Torsion Analysis for Design
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 torsion. To complicate matters, most structural analysis software does not fully capture the torsional behavior for cold-formed steel members.
This webinar will review some torsion fundamentals and explain torsion distribution using analogies to flexural behavior familiar to structural engineers. The similarity to flexure will be demonstrated using the CFS® software. The AISI design provisions for combined bending and torsion will be reviewed, and the application of these provisions will be evaluated with several design examples.
Presenter: Bob Glauz, P.E., MSCE

He is a member of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Committee on Specifications and chairs the AISI Committee on Member Design.
