Cold-Formed Steel Codes and Case Studies: Mid-Rise Construction Detailing for Gravity and Lateral Loads
Cold-Formed Steel framing (CFSF) has been used in North America and England since the mid 19th century. The first design code was published in 1946 by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) with subsequent editions issued as new research was made available. The current edition of the specification covers all types of cold-formed structural members, and a series of framing-specific standards has been developed for building code adoption. These standards, as well as product innovations and market conditions, have helped make CFSF an ideal structural solution for mid-rise construction: hotels, apartments, condominiums, assisted living facilities, dormitories, and other construction with regular, repetitive units in three- to eight-story structures. This paper will discuss the current code-adopted standards for CFSF, and specific examples of mid-rise structures and specific detailing of the structural systems. Details will include using cold-formed steel for bearing walls, floor systems, lateral systems, and other portions of the structure. The integration of CFSF with other types of structural elements, such as wood roof framing and structural steel for lateral systems, will be discussed as well.
