Description:
Participants will learn the most practical and efficient design methodology
for using cold-formed steel in commercial mid-rise construction. Special
emphasis is placed on the roles and responsibilities between parties in a
contract related to CFS. Using the Code of Standard Practice for Structural
Steel Framing as the basis, participants will learn the appropriate resources
available for CFS design and construction. Additional information is offered
on load bearing designs including slip drift connections, header details, and
other commercial load bearing conditions.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this course, participants will be able
to:
- Identify what the local building official is looking for
when inspecting a mid-rise structure using CFS.
- Identify what the local building official is looking for
when inspecting a mid-rise structure using CFS.
- Be familiar with the resources needed to comply with local
building codes using CFS.
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.
