About the Course
The short course will discuss the behavior of cold-formed steel
members and connections. The short course is structured to provide
an introduction to behavior and design for the engineer unfamiliar
with cold-formed steel. For engineers experienced with cold-formed
steel design, the short course will strengthen their understanding
of the fundamental behavior of both members and connections, as
well as provide a better understanding of the AISI design specification
and the AISI framing standards. A preview of future specification
changes will also be provided. Both commercial and residential applications
of cold-formed steel will be discussed.
Texts & References
Lectures will be based on information contained in the AISI North
American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural
Members and Commentary, 2007 edition.
The text Cold-Formed Steel Design, 3rd edition, by W. W. Yu will
also serve as a course reference.
Tour of a Local Facility
Included in the course registration is a tour of a local panelizing
facility. Gateway Panel is a manufacturer of pre-fabricated cold-formed
steel wall panels and truss systems using state-of-the-art automated
equipment in their assembly plant located in St. Charles, Missouri.
The pre-fabricated metal stud wall panels have welded connections.
Finish systems such as Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EFIS),
siding or brick veneer are applied in a controlled environment.
