CFS Shear Wall Design Examples and Solutions
The seminar provides examples of cold-formed steel (CFS) shear wall design that highlight common mistakes and emphasize smart design. In addition to explaining specific detailing requirements for lateral resistance of (CFS) framed structures, examples of shear wall designs using several of the methodologies available using AISI S213 and AISI S240: North American Standard for Seismic Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Systems is presented. Specific topics include:
- Layout of shear walls in a structure: tips for avoiding field problems
- Deflection and stiffness calculations for shear walls
- Where type I and type II shear walls make sense
- Examples with both structural wood and steel sheathing
- Boundary element design and sheathing attachment methods
- Collectors and connection design do
