Cold-Formed Steel Classroom Roger LaBoube, Ph.D, P.E. Center for Cold-Formed Steel Structures
The concepts of cold-formed steel design are not taught typically in engineering schools therefore engineers are required to self-teach these concepts. Therefore, this CFSEI lecture is intended to provide an understanding of the behavior and design principles for cold-formed steel members and connections. These principles will be applicable to many aspects of cold-formed steel behavior and design to included tension members, columns, beams, and bolted, welded and screw connections.
Dr. Roger A. LaBoube is Curator’s Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering and Director of the Wei-Wen Yu Center for Cold-Formed Steel Structures at the Missouri University of Science & Technology (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla). Dr. LaBoube holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla. Dr. LaBoube has an extensive background in the design and behavior of cold-formed steel structures. His research and design activities have touched on many facets of cold-formed steel construction to include: cold-formed steel beams, panels, trusses, headers, wall studs as well as bolt, weld, and screw connections. Dr. LaBoube is active in several professional organizations and societies, including a member of the American Iron and Steel Institute’s Committee on Specifications for the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and chairman of the AISI Committee on Framing Standards. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in Missouri.
Firestopping of Cold-Formed Steel Walls and Partitions Matthew Vickrey Hilti
Cold-formed steel framed walls, both interior and exterior, are often part of a fire-rated assembly. As such, the spaces between these assemblies and other fire-rated assemblies (for example floors), may potentially allow for the passage of flames and hot gasses, and must be firestopped to ensure that the entire assembly retains its fire rating. We will explore the basic concepts of firestopping along with the code requirements. We will provide examples of the kinds of technologies available to complete a fire-rated system, at the head of a partition wall or between a fire-rated floor and an exterior wall assembly. We will also discuss UL fire-rated assemblies, and the difference between a UL system and an “Engineering Judgement.”
Matthew Vickrey is a field engineer with Hilti in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, so he is responsible for providing technical advice to architects and engineers for Hilti’s portfolio of fastening and fire protection products. Matt has a bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering from the University of Wyoming and received the Ross Fellowship from Purdue University. Matt has been with Hilti about two years. Prior to joining Hilti, Matt was a project manager for a construction and engineering firm that specialized in surety consulting and construction defect litigation.

Design Responsibilities from A Specialty Truss Engineers Perspective Joe Forsee, P.E. Aegis Metal Framing
In this session, Mr. Forsee will discuss what a cold formed steel truss engineer should be designing and more importantly what should not be designed by the truss engineer.
Joseph L. Forsee is a lead engineer at Aegis Metal Framing where he specializes in cold formed steel truss lateral bracing and truss connection design. He has 14 years of experience at Aegis Metal Framing designing CFS trusses, truss to truss connections, truss to structure connections, and lateral truss member bracing design. He also has three years of experience in Metal Building Design while at Butler Manufacturing. He holds a BSME from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Engaging Millennials Jennifer Zabik, P.E., S.E., Zabik-Turner Engineering, Inc.
How often have you thought or heard the people coming out of school now are entitled and don't know how to work? How often have the Millennials thought or heard the older employers are unwilling to accept new ideas. The engineering profession has a gap of engineers with 10-15 years of experience in the work force. This is because we did not accommodate their needs and they left the field. We now have a group of extremely intelligent people who are ready and willing to work if we could just close the gap on understanding each other. This presentation has a goal of explaining both sides of the issues and working with each other to close this gap and create a unified group of excellent engineers.
Jennifer Zabik is President of Zabik-Turner Engineering. She has been practicing structural engineering for nearly 10 years in the state of Florida and is registered in Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Illinois & Puerto Rico. She served as the President for the CFSEI – Florida Chapter President from 2010 – 2012. In addition to her cold-formed steel involvement she is also on the board of directors for the ASCE-SEI East Central Branch. While obtaining her Master’s degree she co-authored the monograph “Bracing Cold-Formed Steel: A Design Guide” with Dr. Thomas Sputo, P.E., S.E.

University of North Texas (UNT) was recently awarded a multiple-institution research grant by the ARMY Natick Soldier Center to study the material options for ARMY’s next generation tactical shelters. The overall objective of UNT’s research effort is to develop and deploy light weight composite structures for advanced tactical shelters. Thin-walled cold-formed steel (CFS) structures will be utilized along with aluminum and polymer hybrid panels as part of the light-weight strategy. Friction stir welding will be utilized for joining these dissimilar materials. The presentation will give an overall introduction of this ongoing project. Topics will include the existing ARMY tactical shelters, major challenges and improvements to the next generation shelters, and up-to-date research findings.

The SDI Steel Deck on Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Manual Thomas Sputo, P.E., Sputo and Lammert Engineering, LLC
The Steel Deck Institute (SDI) Steel Deck on Cold-Formed Steel Framing Manual is the first design manual that specifically focuses on how to integrate steel roof and floor deck with cold-formed steel roof and floor framing. The Manual contains content on the general uses of steel deck on roofs and floors, and provides specific guidance on how to successfully integrate the deck into the overall design. Guidance is provided, with details for specific framing conditions. The Manual contains 8 design examples that illustrate the use of steel deck on floors, and gable and hip roofs. Additionally, the Manual contains diaphragm tables for deck on floors and roofs, developed in accordance with the AISI S310 diaphragm standard. This session will also demonstrate the SDI Diaphragm Design Tool that provides diaphragm designs for combined diaphragm shear and wind uplift on roofs. You will leave this session with a greater understanding of how to use steel deck on floors and roofs.
Thomas Sputo is the Technical Director of the Steel Deck Institute, a trade organization of steel deck manufacturers representing over 95% of the volume of steel deck manufactured in the US each year. Additionally, he is a consulting structural engineer with the Gainesville, FL firm of Sputo and Lammert Engineering, LLC, and an Emeritus Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering at the University of Florida. He is SECB certified and holds a P.E. license in twelve states plus a S.E. license in Illinois. He graduated from The Citadel with a B.S. in Civil Engineering and from the University of Florida with an M.E. and Ph.D. in Structural Engineering.
