If you want the latest information on the widely touted alternative to traditional wood framing, this valuable resource provides an up-to-the-minute look at steel framing - from materials and tools to applications and techniques. Unrealistic only a few years ago, steel framing has blossomed into one of the residential construction industry's hottest technologies. Here, you'll get an unbiased examination of all aspects of steel framing, including an eye-opening look at its many code-exceeding features. You'll find tips on how to incorporate steel framing painlessly into your current production practices and train staff so you can make the transition to steel framing with a minimum of downtime. Hundreds of photographs and drawings clearly illustrate how to construct most assemblies.

Synopsis:

Steel framing has emerged as one of the residential construction industry's hottest technologies, largely because of the soaring cost of lumber. Despite the fact that trade journals devoted more space to residential steel framing than any other topic last year, the industry has not had a handbook on the subject - until now. This book provides in-depth coverage of steel framing, discussing the advantages and thoroughly explaining the techniques. Valuable features include reference charts that outline standards and materials costs, information on the newest materials and tools, and the latest details on the code-exceeding aspects of steel framing. Chapters cover specific topics such as steel frame construction, steel frame joist assembly, and more.
