PAST WEBINAR

MAJOR CHANGES TO THE AISI DESIGN STANDARD, INCLUDED IN THE 2009 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODES

Presentation Outline: The presentation provided an overview of cold-formed steel (CFS) design concepts, and showed how CFS design has many similarities to AISC structural steel design. The webinar highlighted updates made in the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, AISI S100-07, as adopted by the 2009 International Building Code (IBC). The review of updates included a discussion of the distortional buckling failure mode: new in the 2007 specification.

PDHsThis Webinar includes:

  • What to look for in field observations of load-bearing construction.
  • Common problems encountered in the field.
  • The difference in shop and field fabricated assemblies.
  • Interaction between CFS framing and other materials.
  • Reducing errors through training and intentional communication.
  • Proper response to potential problem areas.
  • Remediation examples.
