The AISI Committee on Specifications for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members is a consensus group which maintains and updates the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI S100) and cold-formed steel test standards. AISI S100 is the foundation for many construction products including steel decking, steel roofing and wall panel systems, metal building systems, storage racks and cold-formed steel framing. The Specification is recognized by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as the American National Standard in the U.S., by Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada, and by Camara Nacional de la Industria del Hierro y del Acero (CANACERO) in Mexico. The test standards have also been approved by ANSI as the American National Standards.
The mission of the Committee on Specifications is:
To improve the performance of cold-formed steel in structures through the development and use of improved analysis methods and design specifications.
The Committee on Specifications consists of 11 subcommittees. These subcommittees fulfill the mission established by the Committee on Specifications by monitoring research works related to cold-formed steel design, and providing recommendations for developing and improving design provisions in the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.
