Description

Last year alone the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute's Hotline responded to hundreds of inquiries. These inquires cover the gamut of cold-formed steel applications. Because these questions often are beyond the scope of a design standard engineering judgement is needed.

Roger will review a few of the Hotline topics with a focus on employing engineering principals to solve everyday design considerations. Some of the topics to be discussed are …

X-braced shear wall - should loose straps be a concern?
Does gypsum between the steel plies impact the screw connection strength?
For the single-side strap brace, what are the implications for the design of the boundary post?
How does one design a shear wall for force transfer around openings?

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.

Please note: This webinar is part of the Cold-formed Steel Series and is not included in the NCSEA Webinar Subscription.
