The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute will host a webinar on “Vibration Serviceability of Floors With Cold-Formed Steel Framing” on Thursday, Sept. 22, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT. The webinar is designed for architects, engineers, building officials and contractors. Participants are eligible for 1.5 PDHs.

During 2020, manufacturing shut down in many parts of the world. Closures were brief for some locations and industries; other areas and industries stayed closed longer.

RCA-C, an ideal solution for attaching cold-formed steel (CFS) stud framing to concrete supports, was designed to save installers time and reduce the cost of drilling connector holes at the jobsite. The RCA-C provides the most anchor options available, including holes for a 1/2"-diameter anchor screw or bolt, or for two 1/4"-diameter concrete screws positioned to allow a variety of fastening options.

AISI has published AISI S250-21, as a source for calculating the thermal transmittance (U-factors) of walls and ceiling/roof envelope assembles that contain cold-formed steel framing.

BuildSteel.org, powered by the Steel Framing Industry Association, has released a new eBook entitled, “Specifying Cold-Formed Steel Framing: A Guide for Architects and Engineers,” which is available as a free download.

The American Iron and Steel Institute has updated six cold-formed steel design standards.

Adding to its vast catalog of cold-formed steel framing solutions, ClarkDietrich is giving contractors greater freedom to construct intricately curved ceilings, walls and bulkheads with its new 360TRAK. 

The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) has developed a series of beginner Technical Notes for students and young engineers that provide fundamental information relating to cold-formed steel design.

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has published two new cold-formed steel research reports.

ClarkDietrich has partnered with the groundbreaking sample fulfillment service SwatchBox to bring sample provision into the modern age.
