CFSEI Publishes Series of Beginner Technical Notes

The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute has developed a series of beginner Technical Notes for students and young engineers that provide fundamental information relating to cold-formed steel design. The series, which was authored by several cold-formed steel framing experts across the country, covers topics relating to steel production, framing fabrication and design principles. The beginner Technical Notes are free of charge to CFSEI members and are available for purchase to nonmembers at https://www.cfsei.org/technical-notes.
