The American Iron and Steel Institute[2] (AISI) has published Supplement No. 1[3] to AISI S100-16, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.
Supplement No. 1 clarifies the requirements for strength increase from cold work of forming and for members with holes. It also removes provisions for power-actuated fasteners (PAFs) in concrete to avoid potentially unconservative designs or unintended interpretation of the validity of the provisions in different applications.
The 2016 edition of the North American Specification[4] is the most recent version available. AISI S100-16 with Supplement No. 1 is available for adoption in the 2021 edition of the International Code Council’s (ICC’s) model codes.
The North American Specification harmonizes cold-formed steel design technology across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, allowing for faster introduction of new technologies as well as opening up the market for a variety of derivative products, such as design aids and educational materials.
