Cold-Formed Steel Structures to the AISI Specification reveals the behavior and design of cold-formed steel structures, connections, and systems. It describes the AISI Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members published in July 2000, which governs the design of all cold-formed steel frames, including roof, wall and racking systems, and cold-formed steel residential construction in the United States. Cold-Formed Steel Structures to the AISI Specification offers worked examples that can be programmed using MATHCAD or EXCEL. Coverage ranges from materials and cold work of forming to compression elements, flexural members, connections, and the direct strength method.
