WEBINAR ON COLD-FORMED STEEL FRAMING DESIGN WITH DATA-DRIVEN MODELS

December 7, 2023 | 3:00 p.m. Eastern

Presenter: Cristopher D. Moen, Ph.D., P.E., F.SEI

Presentation Outline

A historical challenge for the cold-formed steel industry has been the generation of many disparate physical test data sets without much dedicated effort on collecting and curating that data. A non-profit data-driven Initiative was recently launched to address this knowledge gap, and the Initiative’s mission is to make high quality physical test data accessible to anyone. This webinar will discuss a plan for using emerging data-driven tools to design cold-formed steel framing. The webinar will present a convincing case for how data-driven models can reduce the hoops an engineer has to jump through to design cold-formed steel framing. Cris will use examples to highlight the first open databases and supporting data tools from the Initiative that are now becoming available.
