Section designations, section properties, steel yield
strength, etc., are set forth on pages 6 through 11 and
pages 2 through 5 of the accompanying Steel Stud
Manufacturers Association catalogs, Product Technical
Information, dated 7/01, and Supplemental Product
Technical Information, dated May 2001. Web crippling
details and maximum web crippling loads are noted on
pages 39 through 41, and pages 6 and 7, of the
accompanying catalogs.
2.2 Nonbearing Wall Heights:
Allowable nonbearing wall heights for interior composite
wall design are noted on pages 12 and 13 of the
accompanying catalog dated 7/01. For tables on pages 12
and 13, the gypsum wallboard must be installed on both
sides of the wall framing for the full wall height, with the
long dimension of the gypsum wallboard parallel to the wall
height. Allowable interior nonstructural wall heights, using
only section properties of the steel, are noted on pages 14
and 15. Allowable limiting wall heights for curtain walls are
noted on pages 16 through 19 of the accompanying
catalog.
2.3 Load-bearing Wall Studs:
Allowable axial loads combined with lateral loads for
various heights and stud spacings based on mechanical
bracing at maximum 48 inches (1219 mm) on center and
sheathing on both sides for lateral stability, with the design
complying with Section C5 in the Specification for the
Design of Cold-formed Steel Structural Members, 1996
edition, are noted on pages 20 through 30 of the
accompanying catalog dated 7/01.
2.4 Joist:
Allowable joist span for various loads, joist spacings and
span conditions are noted on pages 31 through 36 of the
accompanying catalog dated 7/01.
2.5 Header Load Table:
Allowable loads for header construction are noted on
pages 37 and 38 of the accompanying catalog dated 7/01.
2.6 Ceiling Span:
Allowable ceiling span for 4 psf, 6 psf and 13 psf (192
2
2
2
N/m , 287 N/m and 633 N/m ) total loading, L/240 and
L/360 deflections, various spacings and span conditions
are noted on pages 42 and 43 of the accompanying
catalog dated 7/01.
2.7 Materials:
2.7.1 Steel Members: Studs, joists and tracks are
formed from steel having a minimum 33,000 psi (228 MPa)
yield point (ASTM A653 SS Grade 33 or ASTM A1011 SS
Grade 33) for thicknesses of 0.0179 inch (18 mils) (0.454
mm) through 0.1180 inch (118 mils) (3 mm), and a
minimum 50,000 psi (345 MPa) yield point (ASTM A 653
SS Grade 50, Class 1 or 3, or ASTM A 1011 SS Grade 50)
for thicknesses of 0.0538 inch (54 mils) (1.366 mm)
through 0.1180 inch (118 mils) (3 mm).
2.7.2 Gypsum Board: Gypsum board conforms to ASTM
C 36, with thicknesses of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) and 5/8 inch
(15.9 mm).
2.7.3 Steel Screws: No. 6, Type S, 11/8-inch-long (28.6
mm) steel screws conform to ASTM C 1002.
2.8 Tables and Details:
The catalogs entitled Product Technical Information,
dated 7/01, and Supplemental Product Technical
Information, dated May 2001, which are a part of this
report, are available on the ICC-ES web site and on the
ICC-ES evaluation report CD-ROM, under ER-4943. Only
Page 2 of 4
the items indicated in Table 3, for the catalog dated 7/01,
are part of this report (the entire catalog dated May 2001 is
part of this report).
Structural properties for the effective moments of inertia
on pages 6 through 11 of the catalog dated 7/01, and
pages 2 through 5 of the catalog dated May 2001, are
based on Procedure I for deflection determination at the
allowable moment Ma.
Allowable wall height tables on pages 14 through 19 of
the catalog dated 7/01 are based on the following
considerations:
The tabulated partition heights are based on flexure,

deflection and shear, whichever governs.
Allowable end reaction based on table heights must

be checked for web crippling allowable concentrated
loads. End reaction = [load (psf)] [spacing (in.)] [height
from table (ft.)]/24.
Heights are based on web punchouts at a minimum

distance of (1.5h) from the edge of bearing (h is the
stud web depth).
Pages 47 and 48 of the catalog dated 7/01 are not

recognized as part of this report.
2.9 Identification:
Each stud is identified with the manufacturers name, yield
strength [if over 33 ksi (228 MPa)], minimum base-metal
thickness, and the report number embossed or stamped on
the web of each section at a maximum of 48 inches (1219
mm) on center.
3.0 EVIDENCE SUBMITTED
Descriptive details, load test reports, engineering
calculations, report of composite construction load test and
proposed product technical information, in accordance with
the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Cold-formed Steel
Framing Members (AC46), dated January 2001.
4.0 FINDINGS
That the Steel Stud Manufacturers Association Bearing
and Nonbearing Steel Studs, Joists and Tracks
described in this report comply with the 1997 Uniform
Building Code, the 2000 International Building
Code, the BOCA National Building Code/1999 and
the 1999 Standard Building Code, subject to the
following conditions:
4.1 Studs, joists and tracks are installed in
accordance
with
this
report
and
the
manufacturers instructions.
4.2
Allowable heights and loadings comply with the

accompanying tables.
4.3
Uncoated minimum steel thickness of coldformed members as delivered to the jobsite shall
be at least 95 percent of the thickness used in
design.
4.4
Complete plans and calculations verifying

compliance with this report must be submitted to
the building official for each project.
4.5
The studs are manufactured at the facilities noted

in Table 1.
4.6
Stud member end reactions, resulting from

allowable heights and loads, as noted in the
accompanying tables, must be checked with the
web crippling tables noted in the accompanying
catalog.
This report is subject to re-examination in two years.
