The Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA) has released the 2012 edition of the “Technical Guide for Cold-Formed Steel Framing Products,” a technical guide for designing with cold-formed steel framing members.
The 114-page book covers both structural and non-structural applications, including section properties of SFIA member product profiles, and complete load and span tables for most applications.
In addition, the 2012 SFIA Technical Guide now includes suggested specifications that provide critical information on materials and installation standards to help ensure more accurate bids, safer design, and efficient installation.
SFIA's Technical Guide for Cold-Formed Steel Framing Products is available as a free download at www.steelframingassociation.org/Technical-information, or ordered as a hard copy for $10.00, plus shipping, at Emma@steelframingassociation.org. +
