Webinar on Devil in the Details: Learning from Mid-Rise Successes and Failures
$100.00
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
Industry veteran Don Allen provides insights, photos, and details from projects that have worked, and some that have not. With over 25 years of both Engineer-of- Record and CFS specialty engineer experience, Allen will show both design examples and field photos / repairs where problems have been avoided / created / resolved on CFS framing projects. Allen will discuss each specific design challenge, why a certain approach was taken, what went right with the design and construction, and what could have been done differently for conditions that did not work. Allen will also discuss some of his recent work overseas, and how innovations worldwide are shaping CFS construction in North America.

Webinar on the Built-Up Member Design Considerations
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
What can be done when a structural member requires a high-load capacity? The common solution is to design a built-up profile consisting of two or more cold-formed steel (CFS) framing sections. Built-up profiles use common CFS framing members, such as shear wall boundary studs, floor joists, stud packs and headers. This webinar will review the applicable AISI S100, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and AISI S240, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing design provisions for two types of built-up profiles — built-up compression members and built-up flexural members. The webinar will review the member limit states of global buckling, local buckling and distortional buckling. It will also provide guidance for achieving adequate interconnection of the individual profiles.

Webinar on the Wonderful World of Buckling
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
A thin compression element of a cold-formed steel member – such as a flange or a web — may buckle before it reaches its yield stress. Thus, cold-formed steel design involves estimating the influence such buckling has on the strength of a beam or column.
What are these buckling conditions? How do they differ in their behavior? This webinar will explore the basic buckling behaviors encountered as one designs a cold-formed steel beam or column. Emphasis will be placed on the fundamental behavior and highlight the design expressions that enable an engineer to estimate buckling strength.
Join Roger LaBoube, Ph.D., P.E., on this journey through the wonderful world of buckling.

Webinar on Innovative Options with Cold-Formed Steel Floor Systems
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
Cold-formed steel (CFS) framed floor systems used to be simple and straightforward: joists at 16” or 24” on center aligned over wall studs with the joists braced with blocking/strapping every few feet, all topped with plywood or pan deck and concrete. But now the rules have changed. With the advent of ledger framing and load distribution members and composite CFS floor systems, we are seeing true innovation in floor framing, as well as how floors are built/supported/topped. With new products being developed at a rapid pace, engineers have to keep up with the latest to select economical and lightweight systems that can now compete with the efficiencies of open-web bar joist and composite deck systems. This session will provide an overview of several CFS floor framing systems and methodologies that are starting to win back floor framing from other materials, and other potential efficiencies that can be gained from the inherent versatility and constructability of CFS floor framing.
After attending this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Design and detail joist and truss support systems that obviate alignment framing and provide more flexibility for field fixes and bearing wall openings.
- Evaluate a wide variety floor topping materials that provide joist bracing, diaphragm strength, and gravity load support.
- Consider options with wider spaced joists or trusses: using the span capabilities of steel deck or steel-and-concrete systems.
- Consider composite design with CFS and concrete systems: both deck and joists and combinations of these.
- Know where to go for additional resources on floor issues.

Webinar on Overview of the Fundamental Behavior of Cold-Formed Steel Members and Connections
Continuing Education Credits Available – 1.5 PDH Credits
The concepts of cold-formed steel behavior and design are not typically taught in engineering schools and therefore engineers are often required to self-teach these concepts. Therefore, if you are an entry level structural engineer, or a seasoned veteran, this CFSEI lecture is intended to provide a fundamental understanding of the some of the behavior and design principles for cold-formed steel members and connections. Roger will draw on lecture materials used in his semester course and three-day short course to explain the unique aspects of cold-formed steel behavior and design principles of AISI S100.
