WASHINGTON, DC, October 8, 2013 —The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) has published four documents to add to its Technical Notes series—“Design of Nonstructural Members,” “AISI S100 Section A2.2, Other Steels,” “Corrosion Protection of Fasteners,” and “ASTM A1003-No Cause for Rejection.” These documents are available for purchase at the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) online bookstore at https://shop.steel.org/c/48/cfsei-tech-notes.
The CFSEI Technical Notes provide instruction on specific topics related to cold-formed steel framing for residential and commercial construction. The just-published documents include:
“Design of Nonstructural Members” (TN W105-13) – This new Technical Note introduces users to AISI S220 – North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing – Nonstructural Members and serves as an illustrative guide for applying the provisions to the design of nonstructural members. AISI S220 was developed in 2011 to help clearly delineate and eliminate confusion between the requirements for cold-formed steel structural and nonstructural members. (…)
