The objectives of the group include the following:

• Develop and promote research activities in cold formed steel
• Provide an organizational structure to develop research proposals and solicit funds from industry and government
• Create a focal point for research into cold formed steel as a structural building material
• Encourage graduate and undergraduate students to study structural engineering and carry out research in cold formed steel
• Work with CSA S136 in the ongoing development of technical provisions as they relate to practical design
• Provide up to date information such as latest research activities and publications to the web site user
