There has been considerable debate over the development of simplified calculation methods for thermal resistance (R-value) and thermal transmittance (U-value) for light steel frame constructions that designers can easily use. Such simplified methods have presented a particular difficulty for light steel framing constructions as compared with many other forms of construction because they must accom...

CFS and structural steel differ significantly in terms of their production and framing methods. However, CFS is widely recognized for producing less waste, being light in gauge, and being cost-effective. Structural steel is carbon-based. Increasing the steel's carbon composition means it can be adjusted to have both strength and low elasticity. Typically, the carbon content of steel is adjusted de...

What would be the difference if applying the same insulation material to wood framing and steel framing. What effect will be? These questions are becoming popular in the construction industry. This article compares the light steel structure and the wood structure with the thermal performance. The comparison showed that the commonly practiced method of replacing wood with steel stick-for-stick resu...

The designs of light gauge steel frame buildings are designed according to permanent building specifications just like in reinforced concrete buildings. Calculations are made according to the load required to be carried. In addition, since they are significantly lighter than reinforced concrete, they are much less exposed to earthquake loads. This significantly increases the earthquake resistance ...
