The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute announced the publication of its “Design Guide: Cold-Formed Steel Framed Wood Panel or Steel Sheet Sheathed Shear Wall Assemblies.” The guide is aimed to help engineers, specifiers, and architects develop a better understanding of the latest code requirements with respect to lateral design using cold-formed steel framing, and in particular how shear wall applications can be incorporated into designs meeting the new codes.
