SYNOPSIS

This is a one-day specialized workshop providing intimate understanding of the design requirements and the application of cold-formed steel in buildings. This workshop will feature three distinguished keynote speakers in the area of application of cold-formed steel. This workshop will present background, requirements of Standards and step by step design method based on NASH. This knowledge can be applied by practicing engineers, designers, academician, and the industry to broaden their knowledge-base relating to, cold-formed steel and its relevant standards or codes. This workshop excellent to the issues that can be encountered in steel structural design on seismic and how these problems can be overcome.

Seminar Objectives:
• To promote cold-formed steel as choice building material to the Malaysian construction industry.
• To promote sound engineering understanding, guidelines and policies in using cold-formed
   steel structures in Malaysia.
• To create better design awareness for designers and engineers cold-formed steel design.
• To make available a platform for the acquisition of knowledge directly from the leading
   researchers of the industry.
• To provide a forum for exchange of view among various sector of steel industry in Malaysia
   on latest technical issues and topics.
