Light guage metal shear wall details.

Wood and light gauge steel framed construction the diaphragms and shear walls called braced wall lines or braced wall panels in many codes and standards are constructed similarly. The details of the shear walls deviate from tested configurations in aisi s213 in that a a ledger or rim track is attached to the interior face of the walls b a gypsum board is attached to the interior face of the walls c osb panel seams do not always fall at stud or track locations and thus strapping must be used for shear transfer in the walls and d the field studs do not always match the grade or thickness of the chord studs. The details contained in this document are intended as a general guide for using steel stud manufacturers association ssma member products. The lower shear strength percentages occurred in those cases where the wall.

S ff wall is a simplifi ed shear wall system consis ng of two column boot assemblies one at each end post and flat strap each side of x bracing. The steel sections used here are called cold formed sections meaning that the sections are formed or given shape at room temperature. The s ff wall is embedded into the load bearing and non load bearing walls. Light gauge steel meeting the physical and galvanization requirements of a s t m.

B shape and dimensions as shown at left. Light gauge steel construction is very similar to wood framed construction in principle the wooden framing members are replaced with thin steel sections. This is in contrast to thicker hot rolled sections that are shaped while the steel is molten hot.

These products should not be used in design or construction without an independent evaluation by a qualified engineer or architect to verify the suitability. Nominal static shear strength with osb sheathing as a function of screw spacing and aspect ratio basis the shear strength of panels with an aspect ratio of 4 1 varies from 95 to 59 percent depending on screw spacing of that of panels with an aspect ratio of 2 1 or 1 1.
