A new design example to illustrate the design of cold-formed steel floor and axial load-bearing wall framing with ledger framing. Modification of an alternative parapet design using cantilevering HSS posts to reflect an approach with more flexibility for field installation. Modification of the slide clip detail for connecting wind-bearing studs that is more typically used in modern construction. The inclusion of distortional buckling calculations in the design example of a wind-bearing infill wall with an unsheathed design approach. The use of load combination factors as required by ASCE/SEI 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. Revised design examples that conform to the latest cold-formed steel framing design standards, including AISI S100-12 and AISI S240-15, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing, 2015 Edition. They are based on AISI S100-12 - North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, 2012 Edition. This issue of the design guide updates the 2007 edition and is available for purchase at the AISI Steel Store, The design examples featured in AISI D110-16 illustrate both screwed and welded connection details. The guide provides a general review of basic structural principles and five comprehensive design examples that cover wind-bearing and axial load-bearing stud walls and joists. Washington, DC - 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 framing systems. Members of SDI are manufacturers of steel floor and roof decks.Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Guide Published By AISI The manual is available as a free PDF download from the SDI website ( or as a printed manual for the discounted price of $30.ġ939, the Steel Deck Institute has provided uniform industry standards for the engineering, design, manufacture, and field usage of steel floor and roof decks. “Interfacing steel deck effectively with cold-formed steel trusses is a particular emphasis of this manual." "This manual will be an excellent resource for structural engineers and architects who are venturing into using steel deck on cold-formed floor and roof framing,” said Thomas Sputo, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., the Technical Director of the SDI and author of the manual. The extensive commentary, 7 design examples, diaphragm tables, and fastener properties contained in the manual are an excellent resource for engineers and architects. The 241-page manual includes applications for steel floor and roof deck, including diaphragms. The SDI Steel Deck on Cold-Formed Steel Design Manual points out those differences, and provides the design guidance that is necessary to enable steel deck to be properly used in this application.
The design and usage of steel deck on cold-formed steel framing is similar to deck supported on open web steel joists or rolled beams, but there are some critical differences.
Glenshaw, PA - The Steel Deck Institute (SDI) has published the First Edition of the SDI Steel Deck on Cold-Formed Steel Framing Design Manual, which complies with the requirements of the SDI Design Standards incorporated into the 2018 International Building Code.
