“RP17-1: Experimental Study on System Reliability of Cold-Formed Steel Roof Trusses.” This study of cold-formed steel roof trusses was part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation, ...

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has published AISI D110-16 - Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Guide, 2016 Edition, to assist practicing structural engineers in designing cold-formed steel ...

The simple reason is that cold-formed steel is non-combustible ... noncombustible components—like walls and floors—if the roof trusses are made from wood, the entire project cannot be ...

(Northeastern University-NEES photo/Kara Peterman) ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Engineering researchers have provided the building blocks necessary for enabling performance-based design for cold-formed steel ...

A 10-story cold-formed steel-framed building will soon be put to the test on an earthquake simulator at the University of California San Diego to see how well it can withstand earthquakes.

The installation of the 32 trusses will be a highly coordinated effort. Before work could begin on the steel roof frame, crews last month completed the heaviest single lift of the entire project ...
