Description:
This course covers the practical and efficient design of using cold-formed steel
wall systems as the load bearing element in commercial and residential structures.
These include curtain walls, load bearing designs, stud bracing, slip and drift
connections and header design, all centered on the design of steel wall studs in
typical commercial and residential loading conditions including high wind and high seismic.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this course, participants will be able
to:
- Understand the design of cold-formed wall systems utilizing the
North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural
Members (NASPEC) and the new American Iron and Steel Institute Wall
Stud Standard.
- Identify other resources when dealing with cold formed steel
designed wall systems.
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.
