9. Used Specifications and Regulations
! AISI Specification For the Design of Cold-Formed Steel
Structural Members, 2001 Edition
! ASCE-
! International Building Code 2003
! International Residential Code 2003
! Prescriptive Method For Residential Cold-Formed Steel
Framing, North American Steel Framing Alliance
! Design of Cold-Formed Loadbearing Steel Systems:
Technical Instructions, US Army Corps of Engineers
10. Design Philosophy:
! Determining Loads:
Dead Loads are determined according to architectural
details.
Live Load, Snow load and Wind Loads are taken
according to related specifications.
Earthquake Loads are calculated according to related
specifications for proper zone.
11. The most critical roof purlin, ceiling beam, wall stud
and floor joist is checked against imposed loads
whether member forces exceed the capacity.
Floor Joists are analysed and designed by SAP2000
software.
According to the analysis results, additional screws are
used together with rivets where necesary .
12. Design Parameters:
! Steel thickness
! Section Height (90mm or 140 mm)
! Stud, joist, beam or purling spacing.
(30cm, 40cm or 60 cm)
! Using Sections back to back and
obtaining I-section.
! Joist Height (30 cm or 40 cm)
13. All calculated lateral loads are carried
by flat strap X-type bracings.
OSB and other cladding materials
make significant contribution to lateral
load carrying capacity.
Special anchorage details are used to
transfer the bracing tension to
foundation.
14. According to the structural calculations, shop drawings
are prepared by ACAD software.
Whole production is controlled by RF software so user
errors are eliminated.
15. Frames can be assembled in workshop and transported to site or
production can be done at site according to project scale.
Steel Rivets are used to assemble the frames.
16.
17.
18. Heat and Sound Insulation is done properly
according to the requirements.
Various internal and external cladding materials are
available depending on building type.
Plumbing, electrical and heating installation
requirements are applied through wall and joist
spaces.
