>The Center for
Cold-Formed Steel Structures (CCFSS) was established at the University of Missouri-Rolla (now Missouri University of Science & Technology) in May 1990 under
an initial grant received from the American
Iron and Steel Institute. The Center's sponsors now also include: Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute, Metal Building Manufacturers Association, Metal Construction Assocation, Rack Manufacturers Institute, Simpson Strong-Tie, Steel Deck Institute, Steel Framing Industry Association and Steel Stud Manufacturers Association. In 2000, the Center was renamed for its Founding Director, Dr. Wei-Wen Yu.
The mission of the Center is to provide an integrated approach for
handling research, teaching, engineering education, technical services,
and professional activity. The Center brings together the technical
resources of interested parties, i.e., university researchers, steel
producers, product manufacturers, consultants, building officials,
government agencies, and others with a common goal of continued improvement
of cold-formed steel design and construction.
