Cold Formed SECTIONS

AISI extended its standards development activity to address growing use of cold-formed steel framing for residential and light commercial buildings in the 1990s. It developed new standards rather than adding to its specification, including the "Cold-Formed Steel Design for the Student" document to aid students in designing cold-formed steel members for flexure, compression, and screw connections commonly used in light-framed construction. This educational document excerpts specifications and commentaries but is not a substitute for final design per the North American Specification for Cold-Formed Steel.

CCFSS Cold-Formed Steel for Students

Starting in the mid-1990s, there began an increased interest in cold-formed steel for residential
and light commercial framing in the United States. These applications include wall, floor and
roof framing in a number of building types. Although the AISI Specification had gained
acceptance and was in widespread use, there were a number of design issues that were not
adequately addressed for this emerging market.
Therefore AISI extended its standards development activity to support the growing needs of the
cold-formed steel framing industry. However, rather than add to the complexity of the AISI
Specification, it was decided that a new family of standards should be developed. The list of
these standards, as well as other excellent design guides, are provided.

The Cold-Formed Steel Design for the Student is intended to aid students in the design of
cold-formed steel members and is therefore limited in scope. The document addresses the
design for a C-shaped cross section as a flexural member and a compression member.
Connection design is limited to primarily a discussion of screw connections. The scope was
selected to provide coverage of the high volume application of cold-formed steel in lightframed construction. This document is intended to serve only as an educational tool. Final
design must be based on the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed
Steel Structural Members.
The document includes excerpts from the North American Specification for the Design of
Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and excerpts from the Commentary on the North
American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.
Additional explanatory language is also provided. The commentary and explanatory
language is identified by a vertical black line along the right margin.
