The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute has developed a series of beginner Technical Notes for students and young engineers that provide fundamental information relating to cold-formed steel design.
The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute will host a webinar on “Demystifying Cold-Formed Steel Torsion Analysis for Design” on Thursday, October 29, 2020 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT.
The American Iron and Steel Institute has published two new cold-formed steel research reports: “RP20-4: Cold-Formed Steel Bracing Design Using Combinations of Discrete and Sheathing Bracing,” and “RP20-5: Structural Design Example – Four Span Metal Building Z-Purlin Line Supporting a Standing Seam Roof.”
The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute will host a webinar on “Design Considerations for Cold-Formed Steel Light Frame Diaphragms” on April 9, 2020 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. EDT.
The American Iron and Steel Institute has published two new cold-formed steel research reports: 1) “RP19-3: Direct Strength Prediction of Purlins with Paired Torsion Bracing,” and 2) “RP20-1: Inelastic Lateral-Torsional Buckling Strength Validation for Non-Principal Axis Bending Using Numerical Methods.”
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.”
Simpson Strong-Tie has announced the release of its 2020 Connectors for Cold-Formed Steel Construction catalog, an inclusive reference guide designed to aid customers in quickly identifying the right products from the company’s comprehensive line of connectors and other product solutions for cold-formed steel construction projects.
