A Guide to High-Performance Cold-Formed Steel Assemblies
Learning Objectives:
- Explore the inherent fire resistance of cold-formed steel frame assemblies, using ASTM test standards.
- Investigate how the principles of acoustical performance combine to provide high Sound Transmission Classification (STC) assemblies.
- Review the basic structural procedures to design and detail a simple non-structural cold-formed steel assembly.
- Envision the required steps to control moisture migration in a cold-formed steel framed assembly.
Credits:
This program, using building science principles, will illustrate how cold-formed steel framed assemblies can achieve project performance requirements. Specific emphasis will be made to fire resistance, acoustics, structure and moisture resistance.
