A frequently asked question from the CFSEI Hotline is “Where do I find a numerical design example?” Previous editions of the Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Guide, AISI D110-16, offer design engineers practical oriented design examples for in-fill framing, load-bearing in-line framing and floor joist design. This presentation will review the recently completed AISI D110-16, Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Guide, which was updated to reflect the design requirements of AISI S100-2012 and AISI S240-2015. D110-16 was expanded to include a design example for ledger framing.

Another excellent source for design examples is the CFSEI Tech Notes. In addition to providing an overview of D110-16, a summary of CFSEI Tech Notes will also be addressed by the presentation.

 Presenter

Dr. Roger A. LaBoube is Curator’s Teaching Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering, 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 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 a member of the AISI Committee on Framing Standards. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in Missouri.
