BACK TO BASICS - A REVIEW OF AISI S100 COMPRESSION MEMBER DESIGN PROVISIONS WEBINAR

Presentation Outline:  When selecting cold-formed steel compression members, design engineers typically rely on either manufacturer’s product technical information, which consists of charts or tables, or a computer software package.  This seminar will take us back to our roots and review the applicable AISI S100 and S211 design provisions for compression members.  Limit states to be reviewed will be overall buckling, local buckling, distortional buckling and the applicable combinations of these limit states.  Bracing considerations for achieving overall stability will also be discussed.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is for architects, engineers, building officials and contractors.
