A research project progressing from the American Iron and Steel Institute’s Small Project/Fellowship Program has received significant funding through the National Science Foundation to advance performance-based fire design for cold-formed steel structures.

The American Iron and Steel Institute has published a new research report, “RP23-01: Analytical Equations for Critical Local Buckling Stress of Lipped Channels.” The report provides analytical equations for calculating the critical load-buckling stress of lipped channels with or without punchouts under compression and bending.

The Steel Framing Industry Association has launched the Industry Project Awards, an annual competition recognizing excellence in the use of SFIA-certified cold-formed steel products. Architects, engineers, manufacturers, distributors, contractors and others can enter projects in the 2023 competition, so long as the projects feature SFIA-certified CFS products and the entrants themselves are SFIA members.

American Iron and Steel Institute Regional Director of Codes and Standards Jon-Paul Cardin, P.E., will conduct a webinar on “Cold-Formed Steel—Latest Design Provisions” on March 14 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Central Time as part of a new National Council of Structural Engineers Associations series.

The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute will host the 2023 CFSEI Expo on May 8-10 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel in New Orleans.

The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute is accepting entries through Feb. 24, 2023, for its annual awards program, which acknowledges outstanding achievement in creative design, technical innovation and best practices in the use of cold-formed steel and recognizes individuals who have volunteered significant time and talent to the cold-formed steel industry. The 2023 CFSEI awards will be presented in three categories: Design Excellence, Creative Detail and the John P. Matsen Award for Distinguished Service.

This is the time of year when many of us raise our gazes from the immediate task at hand and start thinking about the coming year and how to plan for it.

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.
