Cold Formed Steel Framed Building on Concrete Podium

Description

Many of the questions regarding cold-formed steel framed seismic force-resisting systems regard the which floor framing system should be used, overturning restraint options and their design and detailing, wall stud bracing design and detailing, the use of the overstrength and expected strength factors, and the difference between the latest code design requirements. This presentation will focus on these aspects of design as covered in the SSDM design example.
