    This document presents the results of 8 cases studying the minimum weight design of cold-formed steel beams under different bracing and design specifications. For each case, it provides the lateral bracing location, design specification, beam dimensions in mm and inches, and required factored load in pounds. The initial design had a much higher required load due to no lateral bracing. Later designs with full or quarter-point bracing had significantly lower required loads that were generally consistent between the ASD and LRFD specifications.
