Each research project was undertaken to increase knowledge of the behavior of cold-formed steel in order to advance design efficiency and ensure safety.
AISI, in partnership with the Metal Building Manufacturers Association, has published a report on the results of a research project that developed a new Direct Strength Method-based design method for cold-formed steel beam-columns.
The American Iron and Steel Institute has published Supplement No. 1 to AISI S400-15, North American Standard for Seismic Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Systems, 2015 Edition.
