BuildSteel, a partnership of steel and construction industry organizations, released a free e-book, “Strength in the Face of Disaster: How Cold-Formed Steel Framing Keeps Buildings Safe,” exploring the durability and resiliency of cold-formed steel (CFS) framing when confronted with fire, cold weather, hurricanes, and flooding. The eBook explores the durability and resiliency of CFS, including steel’s impact on fire risk and insurance costs, five reasons cold-formed steel is ideal for winter construction projects, and resiliency of steel in the wake of hurricanes and flooding.

Simpson Strong-Tie’s large-diameter stainless-steel screw anchors for concrete and masonry are designed for severely corrosive interior or exterior environments. According to the company, the new stainless-steel Titen HD heavy-duty screw anchors (THDSS) deliver an advanced standard of performance for bridge, marine, and water treatment plant construction and retrofit applications. THDSS is now offered in larger 5/8- inch and 3/4-inch diameters suitable for heavier civil construction where corrosive elements pose a hazard to standard carbon-steel screw anchors. All stainless-steel TitenHD anchors are code listed in IAPMOUES ER-493 (concrete) and ICC-ES ESR-1056 (masonry) for a wide variety of applications.
