The test standards were developed by AISI’s Committee on Specifications for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and are available for free download at www.aisistandards.org.
The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute will host a webinar on “Post-Installed Anchor Testing, Qualification and Design Procedure” on Thursday, December 17, 2020 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST.
The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance has updated a test method evaluating the performance and durability of the integration of a fenestration product with a building envelope.
Considering weather events, changes in temperature, and building movement, it is unlikely that any building will remain 100 percent weatherproof. But with the right materials and assembly, extra steps can be taken to reduce the risk of damage under both normal and severe weather conditions
The topic of “architectural water testing” creates a lot of confusion among architects. This is because many architects who have worked on small to midsize commercial projects have likely never encountered it
With the health and safety of test takers and staff in mind, Prometric has decided to temporarily close all test centers in the United States and Canada for the next 30 days, beginning on March 18, 2020.
The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance will host a webinar covering the use of AAMA 502 and 503 as part of an overall quality program to ensure that fenestration products are correctly integrated into the building envelope.
The American Iron and Steel Institute has published two new cold-formed steel test standards: 1) “AISI S921-19, Test Standard for Determining the Strength and Stiffness of Cold-Formed Steel Truss Assemblies and Components,” and 2) “AISI S922-19, Test Standard for Determining the Strength and Stiffness of Bearing-Friction Interference Connector Assemblies in Profiled Steel Panels.”
