Webinar on Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design with Data-Driven Models
$100.00
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.

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.

Webinar on Cold-Formed Steel Classroom: Design Topics Not in a Design Standard
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
Last year alone the CFSEI Hotline responded to over 4,800 inquires. These inquires cover the gamut of cold-formed steel applications. Because these questions often are beyond the scope of a design standard engineering judgement is needed. Roger will review a few of the Hotline topics with a focus on employing engineering principals to solve everyday design considerations. Topics to be addressed are:
- Should loose straps be a concern?
- Does gypsum between the steel plies impact the screw connection strength?
- For the single-side strap brace, what are the implications for the design of the boundary post?
- How does one design a shear wall for force transfer around openings?
- What wind loading drift limits are appropriate for mid-rise structures?

Webinar on Current Topics in Cold-Formed Steel Framing
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
While there are a variety of popular topics in cold-formed steel (CFS) engineering, in this CFSEI webinar Zane Clark, P.E., S.E., and Josh Garton, P.E., S.E., of McClure will focus on two important areas.
First, Clark and Garton will discuss powder actuated fasteners in seismic applications. Since CFS connection systems need to resist seismic forces in seismic zones, the presenters will discuss current challenges and limitations of using PAFs and alternative options.
Second, Clark and Garton will discuss the use of non-bearing walls as shear walls. While other framing materials can be used to construct shear walls, non-bearing CFS-framed assemblies provide some shear strength to resist lateral loads. The presenters will discuss the limitations and special detailing requirements of such CFS systems.
The presenters will also allow time to discuss other CFS considerations currently popular within the engineer community.

Webinar on Design Considerations for Cold-Formed Steel Light Frame Diaphragms
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
This webinar will cover the basic design of cold-formed steel light frame diaphragms as envisioned in the provisions articulated in AISI S100-16, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, 2016 Edition; AISI S230-19, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing―Prescriptive Method for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2019 Edition; AISI S400-15 w/S1-16, North American Standard for Seismic Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Systems, 2015 Edition with Supplement 1; and AISI S240-15, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing, 2015 Edition. Design practice documents derived from these AISI Standards will also be addressed. At the conclusion of this webinar, design professionals will have a better understanding of current provisions that support engineered design (strength and deflection) of conventional codebased light frame cold-formed steel diaphragms as well as the limitations of these provisions.

Webinar on Cold-Formed Steel Attachment to Concrete in Seismic Zones
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
For decades, Power- Actuated Fasteners (PAFs) have been used in the construction industry as a safe, reliable, and productive method to fasten various building components-such as cold-formed steel (CFS) framing-to steel and concrete. Code provisions for the use of PAFs in seismic areas for attachments of cold-formed metal framing to concrete have been subject to various interpretations. This presentation will provide recommendations based on Hilti’s understanding of the code provisions.
AISI S100-16, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, 2016 Edition (including the latest supplements), provides some basic provisions regarding calculation of the shear and tension resistance of a connection between CFS and concrete, but does not provide specific equations or values. In addition, Chapter 13 of ASCE/SEI 7-16, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, includes some restrictions regarding the use of PAFs in Seismic Design Categories (SDC) D, E, and F. Chapter 13 is entitled “Seismic Design Requirements for Nonstructural Components,” so the focus is on nonstructural applications like partition walls.
This presentation is designed to clarify the intent of the language in the code-referenced publications AISI S100 and ASCE/SEI 7-16 as it relates to PAFs used to attach track to concrete, in SDC A-C and SDC E-F. The presentation will also provide practical guidance to the designer regarding which design values should be used and where those values can be obtained. Additional practical recommendations will be provided regarding the specification of various types of PAFs and their embedment depths into the concrete.

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.
