Overview
This three-hour continuing education course for architects, engineers, landscape architects and interior designers examines Green Building in relation to the use of steel as a primary structural building material, its inherently recyclable nature, and its efficiency of assembly. Particular focus is framing with steel studs using Cold Formed Steel (CFS) and the various methods of building an exterior and interior frame.
Learning Objectives
The Participant will be able to:
- List the advantages of Cold Formed Steel (CFS) framing;
- Recognize typical cold-formed steel sections for framing;
- Understand common steel framing terms;
- List the basic steel framing components;
- Understand the design of a steel house with CFS framing;
- Explain how to build an interior non-structural wall;
- Explain load bearing and curtain wall applications;
- Describe residential applications for steel materials;
- Understand proper steel construction methods and details of assembly;
- Apply proper insulation on steel structures;
- Use the proper tools, screws and fasteners for steel framing;
- Address how to approach pressure treated wood and steel framing.
This is the fourth course in the Green Building With Steel series that focuses on the application and technical aspects of Steel Design and Construction. The series consists of:
- Part 1 - Material Attributes, Manufacturing, Applications and LEED Ratings (1 hour);
- Part 2 - Guidelines for Builders, Trades and Inspectors (2 hours);
- Part 3 - Light Gauge Metal Components for Framing (2 hours);
- Part 4 - Framing With Steel Studs (3 hours);
- Part 5 - Erecting an Engineered Steel House (4 hours).
