The year 2000 edition of the Prescriptive Method for Residential Cold-Formed Steel Framing (Prescriptive Method) was developed as a guideline for the construction of one- and two-family residential dwellings using coldformed steel framing. It provides a complete prescriptive approach to build typical homes with cold-formed steel framing. This document is based on standardized basic cold-formed steel members, provides labeling guidelines, and gives minimum corrosion protection recommendations. It also includes floor joist span tables, ceiling joist span tables, rafter span tables, wall stud tables, header span tables, wall bracing requirements, and connection requirements. The requirements are supplemented with construction details where required. The year 2000 edition includes improvements upon the second edition in the following areas:
- Enhanced wall bracing requirements for high wind and seismic conditions
- Floor joist tables for 19.2" spacing and tables for joists not requiring web stiffeners
- Header tables for bottom story of a two-story building with center load bearing beam
- L-Header tables and details
- Floor and wall anchoring details
- Added tables and details for non-load bearing walls
- Curtain wall tables
- Ceiling joist tables not requiring web stiffeners
