AISI Releases Updates to Cold-Formed Steel Design Standards 

  • Posted on

The American Iron and Steel Institute has updated six cold-formed steel design standards. AISI is an accredited consensus organization by the American National Standards Institute for developing American National Standards. The task of creating and updating cold-formed steel design standards is accomplished through two voluntary consensus committees—the AISI Committee on Specifications and the AISI Committee on Framing Standards. The standards are available for free download at https://www.cfsei.org/free-aisi-standards. The updated standards include: AISI S202, Code of Standard Practice for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing AISI S220, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Nonstructural Framing AISI S240, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel … Read more

American Iron and Steel Institute Report Supports Development of New Energy Standard

  • Posted on

The American Iron and Steel Institute has published a new cold-formed steel framing research report, “AISI RP20-2: Development of a U-Factor Calculation Procedure for Cold-Formed Steel C-Shaped Clear Wall Assemblies.” The report is available for free download at http://www.buildusingsteel.org. The research was undertaken to support a new energy standard being developed by AISI’s Committee on Framing Standards. In addition to its work in research and development, AISI is an American National Standards Institute-accredited developer of American National Standards. The new standard, AISI S-250, North American Standard for Thermal Performance of Building Envelopes with Cold-Formed Steel, is being prepared for public … Read more
