Description:
Participants will learn how to achieve design requirements using cold-formed
steel as the primary structural component for low and mid-rise
commercial/institutional projects such as hotels, assisted living facilities,
schools and office buildings. Special attention will be given to Green Building
attributes and other environmental benefits of cold-formed steel in today’s
practice, as well as a review of the latest tools and standards for construction
through a mid-rise structure case study.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
Become familiar with the information included in the various AISI Standards
and how this information is used in cold-formed steel construction.
- Understand the benefits and drawbacks of using cold-formed
steel framing for residential and light commercial applications.
- Identify other resources for constructing with cold-formed
steel
How Taught:
The CES facilitator utilizes a PowerPoint presentation
of actual on site details of construction with CFS.
Handouts of the presentation will be provided. This
is an interactive session and encourages feedback from
the attendee.
