The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute will host a webinar to introduce participants to D112-13, AISI’s “Brick Veneer Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Guide,” on December 4 at 3:00 p.m. EST. The new publication updates CF03-1, “Steel Stud Brick Veneer Design Guide,” which was published in 2003. The webinar is designed for architects, engineers, building officials and contractors. Participants are eligible for 1.5 continuing education units.

The webinar will cover:

•    Specific design recommendations for the different elements that make up this wall system, and

•    Example calculations for stud design, brick tie selection and shelf angle design.

Sutton Stephens, Ph.D., Chief Structural Engineer for Pacific Northwest Engineering in Tacoma, Washington, will conduct the webinar. Dr. Stephens has extensive experience in structural and civil engineering. He worked as a structural engineer for consulting engineering firms in Colorado, Washington and Montana. He was registered as a civil engineer in the state of Washington in 1979 and as a structural engineer in 1981, and was an assistant professor at Kansas State University for 10 years before joining Pacific Northwest Engineering.
