19. AC322—Prefabricated, Cold-formed, Steel Lateral-load-resisting Assemblies. A new criteria is proposed. This item was considered by the Evaluation Committee at the February 2006 meeting. click here
20. AC320—Fiber-reinforced Composite Connectors Anchored in Concrete. A new criteria is proposed for fiber-reinforced composite connectors, which are cast into concrete and serve to resist tension, shear, or combined tension and shear loads. click here
21. AC43—Steel Deck Roof and Floor Systems. Revisions are proposed for diaphragm testing and analysis, to add reference to AISI TS 9, and to revise Section 3.3.1.2 regarding factors of safety and resistance factors for fasteners. click here
22. AC46—Cold-formed Steel Framing. Revisions are proposed to update the criteria to the 2003 IBC and to address products that have nonstandard sections. click here
23. AC348—Continuous Tie-down Systems. A new criteria is proposed for continuous tie-down systems. These systems function as a component of a light-frame wall lateral-force-resisting system, such as shear walls, in resisting the effects of uplift due to overturning forces or as means to resist pure uplift due to wind. click here
