    x Sires Uns ty Case Studies on Light Steel Framing eee Case Studies on Light Steel Framing Light steel framing uses galvanized cokd formed steel sections as its main structural components, These sections are already widely used in the building industry and are part of a proven technology. Light steel framing extends the range of steel framed ‘options into areas traditionally designed in timber and masonry constru The market for light steel frames in domestic, educational, commercial and industrial buildings is well established in North America and Australia, and its use is expanding in the UK and in some other European countries. Light steel framing technology combines the benefits of speed of construction with the ability to create exciting structural solutions, which are important features of all stee! construction, These case studies demonstrate a wide range of recent applications of light steel framing and give useful information on the form of construction, benefits and costs, They are intended to create an awareness of,and an interest in lght steel framing technology The case studies supplement the SC! publication: Building Design Using Cold Formed Stee! Sections: An Architect's Guide (SC P-130). More information on light steel framing ‘an be obtained from SC] and the manufacturers listed in the case studies.
