TOP & BOTTOM PLATES
Top & bottom plates are horizontal members fixed to the bottom of the studs and should be fully supported below load-bearing studs. Fixings through the bottom plate are used to secure frames to the floor.
K BRACING
Steel K-bracing, formed with FRAMECAD frame sections as bracing in the line of wall frames, may be used to provide bracing resistance to walls. K-braces can be used to provide frame squaring and stiffness.
WEBBED JOIST
The webbed floor joist is a lightweight steel truss consisting of parallel chords and a triangulated web system design. These are designed at various depths to span between support points to suit any sized project or build.
JAMB STUDS
Located either side of openings in the frame, jamb studs provide extra support for lintels above windows, doors and archways.
LINTELS
Lintels are horizontal structures within a wall spanning between jamb studs over door and window openings.
NOGGING
Nogging can either be a continuous length of C section with lip and web notches for the studs to pass through, or short pieces cut between the studs at alternate staggered heights.
