PAST WEBINAR

BACK TO BASICS: A REVIEW OF AISI S100 AND S210 FLEXURAL MEMBER DESIGN PROVISIONS WEBINAR

Presentation Outline: When selecting cold-formed steel flexural members, design engineers typically rely on either manufacturer’s product technical information, which consists of charts or tables, or a computer software package.  This seminar will take us back to our roots and review the applicable AISI North American Specification of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and Commentary (S100) and AISI North American Steel Framing – Floor and Roof System Design (S210) design provisions for flexural members.  Limit states to be reviewed will be bending, shear, web crippling and the combinations of these limit states.  Bracing considerations for achieving overall flexural stability will also be discussed.

This Webinar includes:

An overview of the behavior of design of cold-formed steel flexural members will be presented.

PDHsWhy you should attend?

To adequately design a cold-formed steel framing assembly one must understand the fundamental aspects of design.  This seminar will explore the fundamental structural behavior of cold-formed steel flexural members and the design provisions defined by AISI S100 and AISI S210.

Presenter
Roger LaBoubeRoger 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.
