NAVIGATING THROUGH COLD-FORMED STEEL FRAMING IN THE CODES

CFSEIPresenter: Jeff Klaiman, P.E.

Date/Time: October 3, 2018 - 8:30 am - 12:00 pm

Learning Objectives:  After attendance participants will be able to identify appropriate AISI Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) Standards for use with the codes, identify appropriate tolerances for installation, recognize roles and responsibilities of principals on a project, and describe CFS standard nomenclature required for specifying and building with CFS.

STEEL FRAMING ALLIANCEGeneral Description: Cold-Formed Steel Framing (CFSF) is nothing new and has been used as interior partitions and curtain walls for decades.  What is relatively new is the use of CFSF as the main load bearing element for structures.  Hotels, dormitories, assisted living facilities, to name just a few building types, are commonly framed with CFS due to its high strength to weight ratio, design flexibility, and non-combustibility. Projects can go 10 stories + using CFSF as the main structural framing system.  Presented by the Steel Framing Alliance, Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute and the American Iron and Steel Institute this program will provide you with the tools and resources necessary to conduct a CFS plan review, conduct an on-site inspection according to the ICC 2015 Codes.  Know how to identify CFSF by the industry standard designators, the tolerances and the valuable resources available to assist you with your task.
