Webinar on the SE 2050 Committing to Net-Zero Embodied Carbon
$100.00
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
Structural materials are a major contributor to a building’s embodied carbon footprint. Embodied carbon represents the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacturing, construction and demolition of the building’s components. Therefore, structural engineers play a critical role in reducing the environmental impacts of a building or renovation.
The Structural Engineers 2050 (SE 2050) Commitment Program by the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is a program created for structural engineers to become engaged in understanding, measuring and reducing embodied carbon in structural systems. This presentation will provide background on the program, what is required from a committed firm, what data is collected in the SE 2050 database, and resources and strategies available to structural engineers to begin reducing embodied carbon on their structural designs.

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
Bob Glauz is the author of the CFS® software used internationally for cold-formed steel design. He is a member of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Committee on Specifications and chairs the AISI Committee on Member Design. He is also a member of the ASCE/SEI Standards Committee on Stainless Steel Cold-Formed Sections, the Structural Stability Research Council (SSRC) and the SSRC Task Group on Stability of Steel Members. Bob has authored several technical articles on lateral-torsional, flexural-torsional, and distortional buckling of cold-formed steel members.

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 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 Cold-Formed Steel Classroom: Understanding the Fundamentals Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel Members
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.
