SF0010PE - SECONDARY FRAMING

1. Standard Secondary Framing consists of Cold Formed Z shaped roof purlins

and wall girts. C shaped wall girts may be used for framed openings and other
special applications.
2. Z and C members are shop punched for simple field bolted connections.
3. Z and C members are available in either 8 or 10 inch depths. 12 and 14 inch
members depths are available on a limited basis. Consult the plant for specifics.
4. Optional Open-Web joists are available for wide bay applications with spans over
40 feet, and for mezzanine applications.
5. All section properties listed in this section were determined using the proper
provisions of the Cold-Formed Steel Design Manual, AISI, 1996 Edition. Any
use of these properties for design should also be completed per these provisions.
6. As a standard, all bypass roof purlins and wall girts will utilize a shop welded clip.
Bolted clips are also available.
7. Some Nucor Divisions may offer welded clips for inset or flush girts.
Contact your NBS Division for availability.

CLEARBAY CFR

This system is only available for projects with roof joists and CFR panels.
The ClearBay CFR system was set in place to minimize joist bridging by utilizing
the capacity of the CFR roof panel system. This reduction in bridging will also
result in a reduction of cost.
ClearBay CFR is available in a welded and all bolted option.
These joists will be detailed the same as our typical roof joist system. The
reduced bridging will be specified by Vulcraft.
Click the link below to see the predetermined bridging rows and spacing for bays
that are 40 to 60in width. Any bay sizes other than these would be custom
quoted. This table only applies to ClearBay CFR projects.

SF0080PE - COLD-FORMED BOX BEAMS
1. Cold-formed box beams consist of two C or S sections, forming a cold-formed tube.
2. These tubes may be square or rectangular in shape.
3. The height of the box beam matches the purlin depth. The depth of the box beam will be 8,
10, or 12, depending on the design requirements of a particular project.
4. Cold-formed box beams are typically used as a replacement for the eave strut, eave purlin, or
strong-back eave beam.
5. Standard connection for the box beam to primary framing member is with either (2) or (4)
diameter A325 bolts per end.
