Cold formed steel in residential construction in North America
Using cold formed steel structural elements in residential construction has become a viable alternative to traditional stick-built wood, and to some extent, concrete/block construction in North America. The primary focus of this paper is on the structural design and framing details of cold formed steel members used in residential construction. In addition, other design considerations such as thermal insulation and floor vibrations will also be briefly discussed. Cold formed steel profiles in residential housing are used primarily in the construction of bearing walls, floors, basements walls, ceiling, roofs, lintels and non-load bearing interior partition walls. Cold formed galvanized steel members are predominantly C-sections and are commonly divided into stud and joist type members.
