Loads of 7.5psf and 10psf are typically used for shaftwalls or interior lobby walls located in floors with multiple exterior doors. Check your projects Architectural Specifications and/or drawings for the minimum design load required. Nonstructural (Non-load bearing) interior walls must be designed to withstand a minimum of 5 psf lateral load (perpendicular to the wall) for interior pressure as required by the International Building Code. Interior nonstructural (non-load bearing) walls calculated in the Structural Stud Lookup Tool and Limiting Height Tables are limited to a superimposed axial load, exclusive of sheathing materials, of not more than 100 lb/ft, or a superimposed axial load of not more than 200 lbs. Typically ProSTUD Drywall Framing is used for interior walls but the use of structural framing may be needed to meet taller requirements. Interior Wall Heights w/ Structural Framing.ClarkDietrich iTools - Structural Stud Lookup Tool.Interior Walls w/Structural Framing (Nonstructural / Non-load bearing) Design Tools: See ClarkDietrich's Product Identification sheet for more on how to identify our products. This framing member is also used in axial load-bearing wall assemblies.ĬlarkDietrich S250 (CSE) members have a 2-1/2" wide flange and a 5/8" return and are used in floor joist assemblies and heavy loading conditions.ĬlarkDietrich S300 (CSS) members have a 3" flange and a 5/8" return and are used in very heavy loading and long spanning conditions. They also provide the vertical strength necessary for demanding load-bearing structural applications and sufficient strength for many joist applications.ĬlarkDietrich S200 (CSW) members a 2" wide flange and a 5/8" return that provides a larger bearing surface for attaching sub-flooring or sheathing materials. S162 members are preferred for most curtain wall applications. All studs are color coded for easy identification.ĬlarkDietrich S137 (CWN) member have a 1-3/8" flange and 3/8" return and are used to support the exterior skin or cladding material (metal, stone, tile, glass, etc.) and the wind loads to which they are subjected.ĬlarkDietrich S162 (CSJ) members have a 1-5/8" flange and a 1/2" return and are considered the industry standard.Standard coating: CP60 (G60, CP90 & G90 available) Per AISI S240.54mil (16ga), 68mil (14ga) and 97mil (12ga) products are produced with 50ksi steel unless otherwise noted.33mil (20ga) and 43mil (18ga) framing products are produced with 33ksi steel.Cold-formed steel does not burn and will not contribute to the spread or intensity of a fire.ClarkDietrich studs are made in a variety of flange widths to meet different applications.ĬlarkDietrich iTools - Structural Stud Lookup Tool Does Not Burn – The performance of steel components and steel structures in fire has been researched more extensively than any other building material.CFS is one of the few materials that can resist termites in nearly any climate or building type. Resists Termites & Pests –Termites represent a significant threat to the long-term resilience of a building throughout most of the U.S.Mold Resistance – Steel does not retain water and unlike wood framing, cold-formed steel is inorganic and won’t provide a source for mold and mildew. ![]() ![]() Corrosion Resistance – The protective zinc coating over cold-formed steel will last nearly 700 years before the level of corrosion resistance deteriorates.Resists High Seismic & Wind Conditions – Steel is an inherently stable, manufactured material that is both consistent and ductile making it more efficient than wood in withstanding such major events as fire, earthquake & high wind. ![]() ![]() Also there are no hight or floor size restrictions allowing for maximal use of land footprint.
