Most contractors like the spacing between the studs to be 24 inches not 16 inches.The top of wall track in a light gauge steel wall cannot support loads therefore wall studs MUST be lined up with joist/rafters/trusses or any load from above AT ALL FLOORS.Do not use the Simpson wood catalog for light gauge steel unless you call the technical support of Simpson company and they say it will work.
20036 7-52-Light Gauge Steel connections.Ī- Simpson has a special catalog for light gauge steel, please use it. 1140 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 705, Washington, D.C.

Provides new examples and explanations of design provisions Features a new section on Power-Actuated Fastener (PAF) Connections Integrates DSM in the main body of design provisions Offers thorough coverage of ASD, LRFD, LSD, and DSM design methods
Updated to the 2016 North American (AISI S100) design specification and 2015 North American (AISI S240 design standard It provides chapter coverage of: the types of steels and their most important mechanical properties the fundamentals of buckling modes commonly used terms the design of flexural members, compression members and closed cylindrical tubes, and of beam–columns using ASD, LRFD, and LSD methods shear diaphragms and shell roof structures standard corrugated sheets and more. It discusses the reasons and justification for the various design provisions of the North American specification and framing design standards. Updated to reflect the 2016 AISI North American specification and 2015 North American framing standards, this all-new fifth edition offers readers a better understanding of the analysis and design of the thin-walled, cold-formed steel structures that have been widely used in building construction and other areas in recent years.Ĭold-Formed Steel Design, 5th Edition has been revised and reorganized to incorporate the Direct Strength Method. Hailed by professionals around the world as the definitive text on the design of cold-formed steel, this book provides descriptions of the construction and structural behavior of cold-formed steel members and connections from both theoretical and experimental points of view.
