 The presentation will provide an overview of cold-formed steel (CFS) design concepts, and show how CFS design has many similarities to AISC structural steel design. For those who have used earlier versions of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, the webinar will highlight updates made in AISI S100-07, as adopted by the 2009 International Building Code (IBC). This review of updates will include a discussion of the distortional buckling failure mode: new in the 2007 specification.
Who Should Attend?
- Structural engineers using or preparing for the 2009 IBC.
- Academicians and researchers
- CFS framing manufacturers
- Code enforcement staff
 Code consultants- Design professionals
- Forensic engineers
- Software developers
- Evaluation Services
This interactive web-based seminar (webinar) is set up to allow participants to ask questions: using a “chat” based format. The entire seminar will be moderated by a registered P.E., who will collect questions from participants and provide structure to the Q & A session at the end. Questions that are not answered during the session will receive responses afterward.
 Your registration fee for a live Webinar includes one computer connection, one set of materials and one evaluation for continuing education credits. The member and non-member price each include 1.5 CE credits for one participant. Additional participants in the Webinar registered by a non-member can purchase CE credits for an extra $25 each. There is no fee for additional participants registered by CFSEI and SFA members. All participants must submit attendee lists within 48 hours of seminar completion to qualify for continuing education.
