Sponsored by the Committee on Cold Formed Steel Members of the SEI Technical Community Executive Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.

Cold-Formed Steel Connections to Other Materials: A Design Guide explores the use of cold-formed steel in connection with other structural and nonstructural materials such as steel, concrete, concrete masonry units and brick masonry, and wood in the design and construction of buildings and structures, guiding engineers through examples of designing across material boundaries.

Topics include

• Cold-formed steel connections to structural steel,
• Cold-formed steel connections to concrete,
• Cold-formed steel connections to concrete masonry units and brick masonry,
• Cold-formed steel connections to wood,
• Clip angle strength check,
• Material sizing definitions, and
• Industry organizations.

This book intends to be a valued resource for material industries, engineering students studying cold-formed steel and other materials, and the cold-formed steel design community encountering connection design challenges among different materials during the design and construction of structures.
