AISI Joins the Cold-Formed Steel Research Consortium
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has joined the Cold-Formed Steel Research Consortium (CFSRC) as a founding member. The CFSRC is a group of principal investigators from several universities who are sharing their experimental and computational facilities to undertake specific projects that span all aspects of cold-formed steel structural research. AISI joins Geometrica in its founding member capacity.
The consortium comprises the world’s leading researchers in cold-formed steel structural design from The Johns Hopkins University, Virginia Tech, McGill University, University of North Texas, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Northeastern University, and the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. The industry and academic members of the consortium will work together to identify long-term research needs that advance cold-formed steel design technologies and practices in building construction, developing a roadmap to prioritize research projects and undertake the work.
