[December 2021] AISI Publish "D114 Cold-Formed Steel Clip Angle Design Guide, 2021 Edition” authored by PROFESSOR CHENG YU

The American Iron and Steel Institute has published AISI D114-21, “Cold-Formed Steel Clip Angle Design Guide, 2021 Edition,” a new publication that provides practical guidance on the design of cold-formed steel (CFS) clip angles based on research performed at the University of North Texas. Cold-formed steel clip angles are commonly used to connect CFS framing members in light-frame steel buildings or to attach secondary structural components in a conventional structural steel frame or reinforced concrete frame building. AISI D114-21 provides methods that are applicable for those clip angles that are used to transfer shear, compression, tension or a combination of these forces. Two practical design examples are provided. The guide is a useful tool for design engineers to properly design clip angles. https://buildsteel.org/technical/aisi-publishes-cold-formed-steel-clip-angle-design-guide-2021-ed https://shop.steel.org/collections/frontpage/products/cold-formed-steel-clip-angle-design-guide-2021-edition-electronic-version
