The American Iron and Steel Institute Standards Council has selected four winning research proposals for its 2023 Small Project/Fellowship Program. Launched in 2014, the program identifies and provides funding for research projects that will significantly impact the reliability, performance and cost-competitiveness of cold-formed steel in construction.

The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute will host a webinar on “Updates to the American Iron and Steel Institute North American Specification and Framing Standards” on Tuesday, Nov. 29 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT. The webinar is designed for architects, engineers, building officials and contractors.

The American Iron and Steel Institute has published Supplement No. 3 to AISI S100-16 (Reaffirmed 2020), North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, 2022 Edition. The North American Specification harmonizes cold-formed steel design technology across the United States, Canada and Mexico, allowing for faster introduction of new technologies as well as opening up the market for a variety of derivative products, such as design aids and educational materials.

The American Iron and Steel Institute Standards Council is seeking research proposals for its 2023 Small Project/Fellowship Program. Launched in 2014, AISI’s Small Project/Fellowship Program identifies and provides funding for research projects that will significantly impact the reliability, performance and cost-competitiveness of cold-formed steel products.

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) today announced it has been reaccredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) under its recently revised operating procedures for documenting consensus on AISI-sponsored American National Standards.

Jonathan Humble, regional director of the AISI Construction Technical Program, was installed as an Honorary Member of the International Code Council (ICC).

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.

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

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

The 2018 IBC references AISI standards exclusively. Watch out for non-code compliance issues at the job site.
