Lateral Design Task Group, Committee on Framing Standards, American Iron and Steel Institute, visited Structural Testing Lab and watched one monotonic and one cyclic test on steel framed shear walls with 0.030" sheet steel sheathing. The task group oversees and monitors an ongoing AISI project "Shear Resistance of Cold-Formed Steel Framed Shear Wall Assemblies with Wider Range of Options of Steel Sheet Sheathing".
