Subcommittee on Composite Member Design Seeks Experts
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Standards Council has approved the formation of a new subcommittee for composite member design and is seeking individuals to participate. The objective of “Subcommittee 34: Composite Member Design” is to develop and maintain design provisions for composite assemblies consisting of cold-formed steel members and concrete.
Membership on the subcommittee is open to individuals who may directly or materially be affected by the design provisions to be developed. The subcommittee is under the purview of AISI’s Committee on Specifications for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (COS). It will be chaired by W. Samuel Easterling, professor and head of the Charles Edward Via Jr. Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic and State University, and the Montague-Betts Professor of Structural Steel Design.
