BuildSteel, an alliance of steel and construction industry organizations, recently released “Cold-Formed Steel Framing: Engineering the Details of Your Next Project.”

The e-book explores several technical aspects of designing and engineering cold-formed steel framing for successful projects. Building professionals and engineers will learn:

  • How to engineer subfloors for better sound attenuation
  • How exterior continuous insulation requirements affect field integrations
  • How to address seemingly minor construction details that can have a significant impact on a project
