Infill Walling Systems
In multi-storey framed construction light steel external walling systems are used extensively to create a rapid dry building envelope on a range of building types and are an economic and efficient method of...
LSF load-bearing structures have structural capability up to 15 storeys. Structures are generally formed as pre-panelised systems which are lighter and easier to erect than alternative building technologies. Structures are formed using wall and...
Light steel frame components can be used as a direct replacement for structural walls as either fully load-bearing structures with external facades or as secondary components in load-bearing frames. These frames are formed from...
LSF components are used to form structural floors in load-bearing structures. LSF floors can also be used in volumetric modular construction where floors are formed from a double deck system of a floor and ceiling combination. Refer to...
Key interfaces with other non-LSF elements are relevant to both load-bearing and non load-bearing systems. Interfaces need to be determined early in the design process to ensure requirements are captured and costed for. Interfaces with...
In addition to the previously noted interfaces with the LSF structures there are other elements that are formed from LSF that can be integrated into the design. Again, it is essential that these are identified early as items that attach to or are...
For the purposes of this guide we define hybrid construction as systems that include a combination of hot rolled and cold rolled steel. This is generally in areas where additional hot rolled elements are required to enhance the performance...
One of the main advantages of light steel framing for residential projects is its versatility and the range of building types for which it can be used. Applications for LSF systems range from low-rise housing to multi-storey,...
Utilising light steel frame as the principle structural component in a building creates many design opportunities providing the build system is selected early in the design process. Engaging the manufacturers design team early ensures that their...
