SDI Tech Notes Live

The Steel Deck Institute has a collection of Technical Notes that cover a multitude of topics. Some Tech Notes address frequently asked questions, and some were written to provide guidance for best practices when designing or constructing with steel deck. This webinar will touch on all Tech Notes and provide you with a view of their content. And at the end of the webinar, you will get a preview of a new Tech Note that is in progress now.
