About the Committee Chair: Ed Kile Roster: August 2010 roster (xls) Minutes: July 2010 - Toronto - minutes The ASCE-SEI committee on CFS is a small but active group dedicated to contributing to its mission as defined above. The committee typically meets at the AISI Committee on Specification meetins held every 6 months at different locations in North America. Activities of the committee include organizing sessions at the annual Structures Congress, contributing to the wikipedia site on cold-formed steel, developing special publications, and numerous other special projects (see the minutes for more detail).
