WEBINAR ON OVERVIEW OF NEW TECHNICAL NOTES
ON-DEMAND PRESENTATION | CONTINUING EDUCATION: 1.5 PDHs
DESCRIPTION
The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) provides must-have technical and professional resources for designers of cold-formed steel structures. A valued resource is CFSEI’s Technical Notes series, which includes more than 40 documents.
This webinar will provide a summary of the newly implemented CFSEI Beginner Tech Notes series, which is designed to welcome, celebrate and encourage young cold-formed steel (CFS) engineers. It will also cover Tech Notes that address fire stops, screw connections, and raised platforms/raised seating which have been released in the past year or will be published in the coming months.
About the new CFSEI Beginner Tech Note Series — This series was created to provide fundamental information to new graduates as well as seasoned engineers entering the cold-formed steel design field. The CFSEI Beginner Tech Notes have the following overall goals:
- To encourage and support younger and seasoned engineers in their introduction to cold-formed steel design, since CFS is not typically taught in engineering schools.
- To develop a level of confidence that will make engineers more likely to design using CFS.
- To emphasize the advantages of CFSEI membership and attract engineers to become involved with CFSEI from the beginning of their careers.
- To provide expertise that equips the next generation of cold-formed steel design engineers.

Roger LaBoube, Ph.D., P.E.
Wei-Wen Yu Center for Cold-Formed Steel Structures
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. degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla. He 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, including cold-formed steel beams; panels; trusses; headers; wall studs; and bolt, weld, and screw connections. Dr. LaBoube is active in several professional organizations and societies, including membership on the American Iron and Steel Institute’s (AISI) Committee on Specifications and as chairman of AISI’s Committee on Framing Standards. He is a registered Professional Engineer in Missouri.
Andrew Newland, P.E.
ADTEK Engineers, Inc.
Andrew has more than 10 years of experience in both cold-formed steel manufacturing and design. He is Specialty Structural Team Leader for ADTEK’s offices in Charlottesville, Virginia and Bay City, Michigan, which specialize in the design of load bearing and non-load bearing cold-formed steel projects.
Andrew is a member of the ASCE-SEI Committee on Cold-Formed Steel and participated in the development of the design guide “Best Current Practices for Cold-Formed Steel Connections to Other Materials.” He is a member of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Committee on Specifications. He is also chairman of the CFSEI Executive Committee and serves as chairman of the Technology Committee overseeing the development of CFSEI Technical Notes. He is a graduate of Virginia Tech, where he earned a B.S. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering and an M.S. degree in Civil Engineering.
