UPDATES TO THE AISI NORTH AMERICAN SPECIFICATION AND FRAMING STANDARDS

November 29, 2022 | 3:00 p.m. Eastern

Presenter: Jon-Paul Cardin, P.E., American Iron and Steel Institute

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has been involved in the support of research and the development and maintenance of cold-formed steel codes, standards and specifications for 90 years. AISI sought American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accreditation and was approved as a developer of American National Standards in 1999.

AISI S100, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and the suite of AISI framing standards are the referenced documents for cold-formed steel design in the International Building Code. Every few years, AISI updates the Specification and standards to add new provisions based on the latest information from research and industry. These updates can deliver improved methods for analyzing members, provide new considerations when designing members and connections, and directly impact the design of floor, wall and roof systems. This webinar will review all of the relevant changes to these AISI documents and how they are intended for implementation into the applicable building codes.
