The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) has published Technical Note G501-25, “Evaluation and Remediation of Cold-Formed Steel Members and Connections.” Tech Note G501-25 is based on inquiries obtained from CFSEI’s Ask An Expert hotline.
The new CFSEI Tech Note provides thoughts regarding potential methodology for remediation of cold-formed steel (CFS) structural members. Remediation issues may be the result of on-site construction practices such as cutting large holes in webs, cutting random holes in webs, notching or coping of the flange of the section or improper installation of the self-drilling screws.
- Tech Note G501-25 is free of charge to CFSEI Corporate, Professional and Student Members
- For nonmembers, G501-25 is available for purchase

CFSEI Technical Notes are produced and updated by industry experts to educate design professionals on advancements and best practices in CFS design and construction.
Cold-Formed Steel Engineers InstituteThe Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) comprises hundreds of structural engineers and other design professionals who are finding a better way to produce safe and efficient designs for commercial and residential structures with cold-formed steel.
CFSEI members work together to develop and evolve industry standards and design methods, produce and issue technical bulletins, and provide seminars and online training to improve the knowledge and skills base of engineers and design professionals. For more information, visit www.cfsei.org.
CFSEI is part of the Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA) family.
