WEBINAR ON LOAD BEARING COLD-FORMED
– 10 STORIES AND BEYOND

PRESENTED BY CODY L. DAILEY, M.S., P.E., S.E.
McCLURE ENGINEERING COMPANY

November 5, 2020 - 3:00 pm Eastern Standard Time

CONTINUING EDUCATION: 1.5 PDHs

DESCRIPTION

The opportunity for market expansion of cold-formed steel is not in building fewer stories and encroaching on the wood market. It lies instead on building taller and flipping idealized post-tensioned and steel-framed structures to load bearing cold-formed.

This presentation will provide the design tools, recommendations, and strategies for safely exceeding 10 stories. Various gravity and lateral systems will be discussed, including the pros/cons and details of construction. The presentation will address the following questions:

  • What will I have to do differently when compared with my typical 6-8 story building?
  • How can I get the most out of my studs for gravity?
  • Are there additional material checks I need to consider?
  • What are the limitations of my lateral system?
  • Are there special considerations for seismic and wind that do not control at shorter heights?
  • What are the pitfalls and other design checks that usually do not control design?
