Benefits of Light Gauge Steel
o Light weight o Mold and mildew proof.
o High strength to weight ratio o Can be used in conjunction
o Economical with virtually any finish material
o Non-combustible and fire o Architecturally compatible
resistant without spray o Wall, Floor, and Truss UL Fire
fireproofing rating of 1, 1, and 2 hours
o Will not rot or warp o STC rating of 58
o Termite, insect, and vermin o G-60 Hot Dipped Galvanized
proof coating for rust resistance (G-90
available upon request)

Lateral Design Scope
Reference AISI S202-11 Section A4.2 Responsibility for Design
1. Magnitude
Provide Shear Values for each shearwall frame for each
floor Story Shear.
2. Load Path
Identify types and locations on the structural framing
plans for each shearwall frame at each floor level.
3. Bearing Material
Connection Design that will accommodate the building
calculated lateral loads.
4. Any Special Requirements for Design of
Transferring Elements

Do Not
Combine shearwall posts in different wall panels especially at
90 degrees to each other. It is not possible to attach the straps.
Use a shearwall post to support a girder typically. The girder
connection interferes with the strap to post connection.
Place shearwalls outside exterior shafts, such as stairs.
Frame openings in shearwalls! You cannot put a door in an x-
brace frame no matter how hard you try.
Shearwall Design
Doesnt Fit?
Example 1:
Shearwall Type G Extends well
into a door opening.
Example 2:
Shearwall Type E clearly extends
beyond the end of the wall it is
indicated in on the right side.
The left side of the same wall Example 1
extends into the adjacent wall as
well which conflicts with
Shearwall Type G at that
location.
Example 3:
Shearwall Type H has a door
located within the frame.
