Help compile list of cold-formed steel codes and standards Your help is needed. What codes and standards govern the use of cold-formed steel in your country? To help all of us better understand the specifications governing cold-formed steel I am compiling a list of codes and standards used for cold-formed steel around the world. I have created an easy to edit web page so we can all share in the findings, but I need your help compiling the standards used around the world. To use the list, or to add information about your own country please go to http://coldformedsteel.pbwiki.com click on "edit page", the password to edit is "winter". Your help is much appreciated!
