CFS Curtain Wall Stud Steel Clip and Bridging Bracing

While consideration of bracing is important for any structural element, this is especially true for thin, singly symmetric cold-formed steel (CFS) framing members such as wall studs. Without proper consideration of bracing, excessive buckling or even failure could occur. Bracing is required to resist buckling due to axial or out-of-plane lateral loads or a combination of the two.

Steel braced design is a more practical bracing method for several reasons. First, during construction, wall studs go unsheathed for many months, but are subjected to significant construction loads.This is especially true for load-bearing, mid-rise structures. Second, some sheathing products, including gypsum wallboard, can be easily damaged and rendered ineffective if subjected to water or moisture. Third, much higher bracing loads can be achieved using mechanical bracing.

There are two methods for bracing CFS studs as prescribed by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Committee on Framing Standards (COFS) S211 “North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing – Wall Stud Design” Section B1. One is sheathing braced design and the other is steel braced design.

Sheathing braced design has limitations, but it is a cost effective method of bracing studs since sheathing is typically attached to wall studs. This design method is based on an assumption that the sheathing connections to the stud are the bracing points and so it’s limited by the strength of the sheathing fastener to stud connection. Due to this limitation, the Designer has to use a steel braced design for most practical situations. AISI S211 prescribes a maximum nominal stud axial load for gypsum board sheathing with fasteners spaced no more than 12 inches on center. AISI S211 Section B1 and the Commentary discuss the design method and assumptions and demonstrate how to determine the sheathing bracing strength.

Shoring or Bracing is the construction of a temporary structure to support temporarily an unsafe structure. These support walls laterally. Shoring can be used when walls bulge out, when walls crack due to unequal settlement of foundation and repairs are to be carried out to the cracked wall, when an adjacent structure needs pulling down, when openings are to be newly made or enlarged in a wall.

Hangzhou USEU Metal Manufacturing Company (shortly called as USEU) lies in Yuancun Village, Xindeng Town, Fuyang District, Hangzhou city, Zhejiang Province. It covers an area of 80,000 square meters. The traffic is very convenient. It is 50 kilometers away from Hangzhou Airport and five kilometers from Fuyang Motorway Entrance& Exit. By Train it is only 1 hour away from Shanghai, the largest city of China.

Our registered capital is RMB 10 million Yuan, and now USEU have over 100 million Yuan in total assets. The annual production capacity can reach more than 90,000MT. USEU have over 200 staff and workers overall and over 50 professional and technical personnel. We invite senior engineers and specialists of China Steel Structure Association Councilor and Scientific department of the General Equipment as our consultants, and hold technical communication meetings time to time.

Most importantly, not like other companies, nearly all machining parts and mechanical accessories are manufactured in our own shop as we have professional machinery line and skilled workers inside. In this way, the quality, cost and delivery time can be ensured which eliminates other exterior factors’ influence.

We have passed the ISO 9001:2000 International Quality Management System Authentication, America AWS D1.1 Qualification, EN1090-2 Certification and ISO3834-2 Europe standard welding system certification. The company is recommended as the Demonstration of Quality Management by China Quality Observation Station; Safe Production Advanced Unit by the city government, Industrial and Commercial Relief Enterprise by the city Industrial and Commercial Bureau in 2016, Rank A enterprise of Labor Protection by the city Labor Bureau in 2016, A business tax credit of Hangzhou city. At the same time we declare the patent of the technology production and the practical production of Equipped Road Steel Bridge to National Knowledge Property Right Bureau.

Our main production is various structural steelworks fabrication and steel-based bridges design/fabrication, in which the modular Bailey type Steel Bridge is the most popularly used. Meanwhile we are developing new models of various prefab steel bridges with state-of-the-art technology absorbtion and development, including but not limited in the truss bridge, box girders, arc shaped bridge, overpass etc.

We adopt the Road Bridge Construction Technical Rules (JTL041200) by the Ministry of Communications to process, and make the steel bridge, which is simply-structured, conveniently-transported, strongly-suited, well-exchanged, rapid erection, and huge load. It is widely used in national defense equipment, flood fighting, transportation, irrigation works, railway and so on. We also specialize in producing the derivative product of steel Bailey bridge, such as panel pin, nonstandard transom, bridge deck, female end post, male end post, bridge seat, baseplate, reinforced chord, clip and so on. All the machining accessories of Bailey type bridge are done by ourselves, which can control the quality, cost and delivery time.

Our company undertook the construction of national key projects form China Railway Bridge Bureau, China Tunnel Traffic and China Railway Shanghai Bureau. And the qualities are quite good. Because of the good quality, our productions are exported widely wordwidely like North America, Europe, South America, Middle East, Oceania, Africa and Asia countries such as Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Canana, Australia, New Zealand, Laos, Angola, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Romania, Kenya, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Myanmar etc. So we are widely received and accepted by the international markets.

To satisfy the demands of the market, we set up a renting company in 2016, which rents Bailey Piece and a complete set of steel bridge as well. It also forms a professional bridge erecting group. Nowadays, Jiangsu Jiuzhou Bridge has formed a supermarket of steel bridge which combines design, making, fitting, renting, transportation to become a first rate enterprise.

The company will takes full advantages of flexible mechanism and strong technical force, be market-oriented, adherence to the “customer first, quality first and integrity management” as the quality policy and “quality and creditability” as the enterprise tenet to ensure that customer requirements are satisfied and translate them into the demands for products and service. It provides the high-quality products and service for customers and try its best to create band and credibility, enrich the outstanding professional personnel, creates benefits with scientific management and advanced technology to create a first-rate steel structure enterprise.

Now as the biggest shareholder of USEU, FAMOUS Steel Engineering Company is awarded to be the only export project agent for all kinds of overseas market operation.

Lastly we would like to emphasize that we are able to do various standards structural steel fabrication ranging from normal China standard, to Europe standard, America standard, British BS Standard, Australia New Zealand AS/NZS standard and steel based bridge s design & construction upon different clients' requirements.

USEU is willing to create a better tomorrow with you! Warmly welcome various clinets either from Domestic or International market to visit us!
