Lightweight Steel Framing
CANADIAN SHEET STEEL BUILDING INSTITUTE LIGHTWEIGHT STEEL FRAMING
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDE
PREFACE
This publication is intended as a guide for designers,
specifiers and users of lightweight steel framing (SF). LSF
products are cold formed structural members used as
studs, joists rafters, purlins and girts and in assemblies
such as steel roof trusses and panelized walls.
The Canadian Sheet Steel Building Institute would like to
acknowledge the contribution of Mr. Tom Trestain, P.Eng.,
of TMJ. Trestain Structural Engineering, for his work as a
consultant retained for the preparation of this publication.
(Mr. Trestain is experienced in the design and erection of
LSF products and is an active member on the CSA
Technical Committee responsible for CSA $136, "North
‘American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed
Steel Structural Members.” In addition, Larkin Architect
acted as both architectural and technical advisors, and
their contribution has been gratefully received,
The material in this publication has been prepared for the
05 mm (cre 0.01 mm- a) is selected to accommodate the
‘expected roof beam deflection and the movement capability of the caulking material. Ifthe roof
deflections are beyond the expansion contraction capability ofthe caulk, the joint could be seated with
peel and stick air barrier membrane with an accordion fold to accommodate movement.
4. FILLABLE CHANNEL TRIM OR,-MOULD - The caulked joint will be in tension or compression as
the roof beam moves up and down with snow load applications. The edge ofthe drywall is reinforced to
insure its integrity under these imposed stresses.
5, DO NOT INSTALL DRYWALL SCREWS ABOVE THIS LEVEL. - See comments Item 3.
6. DRYWALL AIR BARRIER - See DI-S Item 5.

Design Example D1 - Detail D1-4
1, ROOF INSULATION, AIR/VAPOUR BARRIER AND SHEATHING
2, 38 mm STEEL ROOF DECK
3. OWS] - The joist parallel edge condition is similar with top of steel beam at underside of deck.
4, STEEL BEAM - Support bottom flange of steel beam with te joists and/or bracing as required
structurally:
5, STEEL COLUMN BEYOND.
6. PEEL AND STICK AIR BARRIER MEMBRANE - The peel and stick membrane provides air barrier
‘continuity between the roof air barrier and the continuous bent plate angle
7. STRUCTURAL BENT PLATE ANGLE WELDED TO TOP OF JOIST SHOE OR TOP OF BEAM
WHERE JOISTS PARALLEL - Provide intermediate support for angle between joist shoes as required
structurally: Seal butt joints between angles with peel and stick air barrier membrane.
8, CONTINUOUS 1.22 mm GALVANIZED ANGLE SET IN CAULK - Fasten angle to bent plate angle
‘with sheet metal screws at 300 mm o.c. Seal butt joints between angles with peel and stick air barrier
membrane.
9. CONTINUOUS 0.91 mm GALVANIZED SHEET METAL AIR BARRIER - Fasten air barier to
continuous angles top and bottom at 200 mm o,¢, maximum with sheet metal screws. Provide peel and
stick air barrier membrane top and bottom (not shown) for air harrier continuity between the sheet
metal and the continuous angles. Alternatively, set the sheet metal air barrier in caulk, See Items 14
and 15 for methods of making the lap connection in the sheet metal air barrier
Note that the sheet metal air barrier will have to be built-out around columns. As an alternative
detailing scheme, the hot-rolled steel roof beam could have been used as part of the air barrier system
‘with special details required to transfer the air barrier from the top of the beam to the roof and to
accommodate columns and splices in beams.
10. STRUCTURAL BENT PLATE ANGLE WELDED TO UNDERSIDE OF BEAM, - Seal but joints
between angles with peel and stick air barrier membrane.
11, LEAVE 13 mm GAP AT END OF DRYWALL. - Caulk the joint to provide continuous seal between the
