AISI S100 North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members CFSEI On-Demand Course
Course Description
Design involves achieving a desired member or connection behavior. AISI S100, North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members provides a means of estimating such behavior.
Dr. Roger LaBoube., P.E., and Dr. Reinhold Schuster, Eng. have updated AISI S100 lecture series to reflect the current code adopted by AISI S100-16 w/S2.
Why take this course?
- Because cold-formed steel (CFS( is typically not taught in universities.
- The use of cold-formed steel has increased exponentially over the years.
- To learn basic knowledge of cold-formed steel behavior and design.
S100 addresses the various limit states as they vary for CFS members and connections:
- Tension member yielding
- Flexural column buckling
- Flexural-torsional column buckling
- Yield/Lateral-torsional beam buckling
- Shear buckling of web plates
- Connection or connector failure

Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute
Dr. Roger A. LaBoube is Curator’s Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering and former director of the Wei-Wen Yu Center for Cold-Formed Steel Structures at the Missouri University of Science & Technology. Dr. LaBoube holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla. He has an extensive background in the design and behavior of CFS structures. His research and design activities have touched on many facets of CFS construction, including CFS beams, panels, trusses, headers, and wall studs as well as bolt, weld, and screw connections.
Dr. LaBoube is active in several professional organizations and societies. He served as chairman of the American Iron and Steel Institute Committee on Framing Standards and is an emeritus member of the AISI Committee on Specifications for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. He is a registered professional engineer in Missouri.

Reinhold Schuster, Ph.D., P. Eng.
University of Waterloo
Dr. Reini Schuster’s contributions as an educator, researcher and specification contributor are unparalleled.
As an educator, Dr. Schuster created and taught a graduate CFS course at the University of Waterloo and co-developed AISI’s one-day CFS course for practitioners, offering the latter course in the United States and Canada. The latter course is now available on demand from CFSEI.
Dr. Schuster’s research interests lie in the area of CFS structures. He supervised a research team that engaged in both experimental and analytical studies, developing solutions that have been adopted as U.S. and Canadian standards and used by structural engineers engaged in the design of CFS structures.
Since 1978, Dr. Schuster has served as the chair of the CSA S136 committee, which writes the Canadian CFS design standard. He has also been involved with the AISI committee on specifications. Dr. Schuster’s work on the two committees led to the creation of the North American Specification. He served as the chair of the AISI North American Specification subcommittee, which is charged with harmonizing the design standards across the continent.
Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute
The 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.
CFSEI is part of the Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA), where its leadership as the industry’s key touchpoint for CFS design receives full support.
