Not All Design Topics Are Covered in a Standard

Last year alone the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute’s Hotline responded to hundreds of inquiries. These inquires cover the gamut of cold-formed steel applications. Because these questions often are beyond the scope of a design standard engineering judgement is needed.

Roger will review a few of the Hotline topics with a focus on employing engineering principals to solve everyday design considerations. Some of the topics to be discussed are …

• X-braced shear wall – should loose straps be a concern?
• Does gypsum between the steel plies impact the screw connection strength?
• For the single-side strap brace, what are the implications for the design of the boundary post?
• How does one design a shear wall for force transfer around openings?

• Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
• This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.

Please note: This webinar is part of the Cold-formed Steel Series and is not included in the NCSEA Webinar Subscription.

Speaker:

Roger LaBoube, Ph.D., P.E., is Curator’s Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering and Former Director of the Wei-Wen Yu Center for Cold-Formed Steel Structures at the Missouri University of Science & Technology (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla). Dr. LaBoube has an extensive background in the design and behavior of cold-formed steel structures. His research and design activities have touched on many facets of cold-formed steel construction to include: cold-formed steel beams, panels, trusses, headers, wall studs as well as bolt, weld, and screw connections. Dr. LaBoube is active in several professional organizations and societies, including a member of the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI), American Iron and Steel Institute’s Committee on Specifications for the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and chairperson of the AISI Committee on Framing Standards.

NCSEA Webinars and Digital Events Cancellation and Refund Policies

Webinar Cancellation

By NCSEA: If a webinar is canceled by NCSEA, all registered attendees will be notified via email. NCSEA will issue a full refund if the event cannot be rescheduled. If the event is rescheduled and a registrant can not attend on the rescheduled date, NCSEA will offer a credit in the amount of the purchase price.

No telephone refund requests will be accepted.

If the request has been approved, NCSEA can do one of the following:

• Refund the amount back to the original order payment method (a $25 cancellation processing fee will be assessed)

• Issue a full credit on the purchaser’s account that can be used towards a future webinar/event.

If you are unable to attend the webinar and the cancellation deadline has passed, a recording will be available (in most cases) in the Education Portal after the webinar has concluded.
Refunds are not granted due to attendee technology issues. It is your responsibility as the webinar attendee to test your computer setup prior to the start of the webinar.
