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 Innovative Options with Cold-Formed Steel Floor Systems
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
Cold-formed steel (CFS) framed floor systems used to be simple and straightforward: joists at 16” or 24” on center aligned over wall studs with the joists braced with blocking/strapping every few feet, all topped with plywood or pan deck and concrete. But now the rules have changed. With the advent of ledger framing and load distribution members and composite CFS floor systems, we are seeing true innovation in floor framing, as well as how floors are built/supported/topped. With new products being developed at a rapid pace, engineers have to keep up with the latest to select economical and lightweight systems that can now compete with the efficiencies of open-web bar joist and composite deck systems. This session will provide an overview of several CFS floor framing systems and methodologies that are starting to win back floor framing from other materials, and other potential efficiencies that can be gained from the inherent versatility and constructability of CFS floor framing.
After attending this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Design and detail joist and truss support systems that obviate alignment framing and provide more flexibility for field fixes and bearing wall openings.
- Evaluate a wide variety floor topping materials that provide joist bracing, diaphragm strength, and gravity load support.
- Consider options with wider spaced joists or trusses: using the span capabilities of steel deck or steel-and-concrete systems.
- Consider composite design with CFS and concrete systems: both deck and joists and combinations of these.
- Know where to go for additional resources on floor issues.

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 Floor System
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
This webinar will focus on the ideation, development, analysis and experimental evaluation of an innovative lightweight modular floor system utilizing cold-formed steel. As part of a research project funded by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), researchers at the University of Kansas developed a novel floor system composed primarily of cold-formed steel, intended for modular use in steel-framed buildings. The webinar will highlight the background and initial development of the floor system, including design and construction considerations and corresponding analyses. As rapid fabrication, vibration mitigation and diaphragm behavior were emphasized in the development of the floor system, experimental testing of the floor focused on the cyclic behavior of connectors in the cold-formed steel components, vibration serviceability of the floor, and cyclic diaphragm performance within a steel-framed structure. All aspects of system validation will be presented, including physical and analytical evaluations as well as recommendations for future implementation and other project.

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.
