Features: This book primarily introduces the design, manufacturing, and assembly techniques of cold-formed light steel frame residential buildings. It provides a descriptive method for constructing standalone or terraced houses for one to two families using cold-formed light steel frames. The book standardizes cold-formed light steel components through classification tables, offering design guidelines and minimum corrosion protection recommendations. It also includes tables for floor beam spans, ceiling beam spans, rafter spans, wall column tables, wall support requirements, roof beam spans, and connection requirements. For the convenience of readers, the book has added two sections: "Appreciation of Steel Structure Residential Buildings" and "Design Examples of Cold-Formed Light Steel Frame Residential Buildings," which help readers understand and practice the design of steel structure residential buildings.
