The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has published three new cold-formed steel framing research reports: 1) “RP15-3: Advancing Seismic Simulation of Cold-Formed Steel Framed Buildings,” 2) ...

The CFS-NEES Phase 2 building was ultimately framed with nonstructural elements including exterior OSB, interior drywall, stairways, interior partition walls, and exterior weatherproofing. When ...

Advances in the design and evaluation of cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls have significantly enhanced the seismic resilience of modern structures. These walls, which integrate thin-gauge steel ...

Cold Formed Steel (CFS), also known as light gauge steel (LGS), construction is a practical, code approved solution to many of the limitations that builders face today when using traditional ...
