As of 1 July 2013 the Cold-Formed Steel Research Consortium (CFSRC) has been officially chartered at the Johns Hopkins University with Ben Schafer, Swirnow Family Faculty Scholar, Professor, and Chair of the Department of Civil Engineering as its Founding Director. The CFSRC is a multi-institution shared use platform for conducting research on cold-formed steel structures. The CFSRC member universities and their principal investigators utilize shared-used experimental and computational facilities to advance their research. The CFSRC utilizes its team of researchers in cooperation with industry partners to develop a long-term vision of cold-formed steel research compatible with larger-scale funding initiatives of national priority.
