The American Iron and Steel Institute[1] (AISI) has published Supplement No. 1 to AISI S400-15, North American Standard for Seismic Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Systems, 2015 Edition. While the standard addresses the design and construction of cold-formed steel structural members and connections used in the seismic force-resisting systems in buildings and other structures, this particular supplement revises the expected strength factors for cold-formed steel light-frame shear walls sheathed with wood structural panels, steel sheet sheathing, gypsum board, and fiberboard panel sheathing.

The Supplement is available to download free of charge from www.aisistandards.org[2]. It is available to download as: 1) a single document for users who are interested only in the specific changes, or as 2) part of the complete standard, designated as AISI S400-15 w/S1-16.
