Floors with Cold-Formed Steel Framing
 

WEBINAR ON VIBRATION OF FLOORS WITH COLD-FORMED STEEL FRAMING

June 26, 2025 | 3:00 p.m. Eastern

Presenter: Brad Davis, Ph.D., S.E., P.E.
University of Kentucky

Cold-formed steel (CFS) joists and trusses have high strength-to-weight ratios and good overall economy, so they are popular choices for floor framing members. As is the case with most types of floor systems, CFS floors are potentially susceptible to annoying vibrations due to walking and other human activities. This presentation will raise awareness of the importance of vibration serviceability by describing two forensics projects with lively CFS floors. Evaluation methods will be recommended for low-frequency floors and high-frequency floors.
