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 ...

Engineering researchers have provided the building blocks necessary for enabling performance-based design for cold-formed steel buildings, structures that have shown in shake-test experiments at the ...

The first industry standards and codes for cold-formed steel were written in 1946 and are mostly based on empirical data, ... it becomes a stud that can withstand ten thousand pounds of loading.

Fox said when he started in the industry in the 1980s, the use of cold-formed steel in building construction was typically limited to non-load bearing components, such as interior-wall studs that ...
