Light‐Frame Construction
Cold‐formed steel structural members have been used for residential and commercial light‐frame construction for many years. The major structural components used for light‐frame construction are wall studs, floor and ceiling joists, roof rafters, roof and floor trusses, decking, and panels. Since 1960, numerous research and development projects have concentrated on cold‐formed steel light‐frame construction. These projects represent a significant investment by the industry to eliminate barriers to the increased use of cold‐formed steel in light‐frame construction. A set of standards were developed for cold‐formed steel light frame construction under a consensus Committee on Framing Standards. To assist the design community, numerous design guides on such topics as structural elements and systems, shear walls and diaphragms, corrosion and durability, fire, sound, and thermal have been developed.
