Abstract

Provides information and guidance on the construction of light steel frames in general applications for residential construction, which includes single family houses and apartments. Light steel framing systems use galvanized cold formed steel sections as the primary structural components, which can be assembled as prefabricated panels. The publication addresses aspects of design within the scope of the Building Regulations (England and Wales). It also covers construction practice and detailing of light steel frames and their interfaces with other materials and components. Detailed design information is given on structural design and robustness, serviceability of floors, thermal and acoustic performance, and fire resistant design. A list of manufacturers is presented.
