Maximizing Adaptive Reuse with Cold-Formed Steel Frame and Lightweight Structural Cementitious Panels

Emerging Technologies

Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) frames offer a versatile, lightweight, and sustainable alternative to traditional building materials. Used in conjunction with structural cementitious panels, CFS structural systems are a fast and inexpensive solution for adaptive reuse renovation projects. They can be seamlessly integrated quickly into existing structures without adding significant weight or requiring extensive foundation reinforcement, a key consideration when working with older buildings.

This presentation highlights the use of CFS with light-weight structural cementitious panels in various renovation applications, including the adaptive reuse of existing older buildings. The CFS/cementitious panel system will be briefly outlined with new emerging real-world applications and examples.
