Description:
This course provides a step-by-step review of construction standards and an
introduction to cold-formed steel framing systems including the design of
floors, walls and roofs. A Review of the Universal Designator system of
identification and new nomenclature for cold-formed steel framing will be
covered. Course content includes cold-formed steel advantages for meeting
green building requirements, high wind and seismic requirements and design
flexibility concepts.
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.
- Identify steel members using the Universal Designator
system and its new nomenclature.
- Identify difference between mil and gauge.
- 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.
