THE STRUCTURAL ASPECT OF INTERIOR NON-STRUCTURAL COLD-FORMED STEEL FRAMING WEBINAR

 

 

 

Continuing Education: 1.5 Hours Available

 This webinar will review various interior non-structural CFS framing for both code specified & engineered applications.  Often, interior applications beyond ASTM installation standards are not thoroughly addressed in project contract documents.  This webinar sheds light on code & industry standard limitations illustrating which do not require analysis & which require additional engineering to determine proper member sizes & installation. Tentatively, the presentation will provide a brief discussion of the following topics:

  • Introduction
  • Presentation overview
  • Review of codes & standards
  • Industry technology & proprietary products
  • Wall & ceiling members: Tables, bridging & limitations
  • Chase wall framing
  • Wall openings & wall obstructions
  • Partial height partition support systems
  • Structure deflection accommodations
  • Head-of-wall obstructions
  • Wall reinforcement backing
  • Suspended ceiling systems
  • Ceiling bulkhead framing
  • Shaftwall Framing
  • Additional comments and conclusions
  • Questions and discussion
