What is the purpose of this lesson?
The purpose of this lesson is for you to:
- understand what a stud wall is, and
- understand the importance of putting holes in the beams to to create a stud wall.
What is a stud wall?
A stud wall is made up of: (i) a frame (in our situation this frame will be a steel frame) and (ii) timber members which go in between the steel frame and (iii) a covering of 13 mm plaster board to cover the frame. The plaster board covering is not shown in the diagram below.
In steel stud walls, light steel pressed members or standard steel studs (mostly standard steel studs) are used insted of timber
What is nogging?
Do you see the horizontal 90 x 45 timber pieces - the short red horizontal timber members? These short timber members are called nogging.
The nogging members of a stud wall are usually smaller in size than the main vertical members.
Nogging members run horizontal and give some strenth to the wall.
Inside of the wall is empty space space. Insulation material can be put in
Cross pieces are called NOGGING.
The Key Point of this lesson:
It is important that you provide dia 14 holes on the steel beams and columns so that the timber pieces can be bolted to the steel pieces.
Imagine you have some steel beams/columns and also some timber. How will the timber columns be attached to the steel columns so that the structure doesn't move? Holes need to be drilled so that the timber pieces can be bolted to the steel beams.
The blue lines means bolting to steel. This is where you need to drill so that the timber can be bolted to the steel.
A stud wall cannot stand in the wall without some conneciton.
You need to provide holes in the steel so that the timber members can be bolted to the steel.
Please download the cad files and have a look.
The detailer must study th drg and make a decision as to how to orient the columns.
