Design and Specification of Metal Studs
Publication: Structures Congress 2009: Don't Mess with Structural Engineers: Expanding Our Role
Abstract
Cold-Formed Steel Framing (CFSF), often referred to by engineers and contractors as "metal studs," has seen a tremendous growth in its use in the mid-rise loadbearing marketplace, and in some markets, renewed growth in residential construction. Engineers are being challenged with new configurations and high load conditions, as members and assemblies are stretched to the limits of their structural capacity. This paper discusses some of those challenges, and how engineers, architects, and specifiers can use recent research, industry standards and technical guidance to design and build safe, economical and sustainable structures.
