Webinar on Seismic Performance of Cold-Formed Steel Nonstructural Walls Detailed with Movement Joints in the 10-Story Tall Wood Building Experiment
$100.00
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
To advance resilient seismic solutions for tall wood buildings, a shake table test program of a full-scale 10-story building with mass timber rocking walls was conducted in 2023 at the NHERI@UC San Diego outdoor shaking table. An essential aspect of building resilience is assurance that nonstructural components (e.g. nonstructural walls, facades, ceiling, piping and egress) sustain minimal damage or are easily repairable. The test specimen included a variety of cold-formed steel-framed interior walls and exterior façade assemblies that were detailed to accommodate inter-story movement with horizontal slip joints and vertical expansion joints. The design intent was to protect the walls from damage by isolating them from the movement. For the most part, the walls performed well and minimal visible damage was observed. However, the performance of various slip joints was far from perfect, and several challenges were encountered in scaling up the details from an idealized laboratory setting to a full-scale structure. Follow-up analytical studies have focused on whether basic friction models can be used to predict slip across the slip joints and subsequent drift reduction in the walls. This presentation will overview the philosophy in selecting the subassemblies, the component details, the observed performance, the highlights of the modeling efforts, and the synthesis of takeaways for the profession.

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 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.

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.
