18
Q

CFS framing for interior gypsum board partitions is designed for a minimum lateral load of how much psf?

A

5psf

19
Q

CFS framing for interior gypsum board partitions is designed to a maximum permissible deflection of what?

A

L/240

20
Q

In designing CFS interior gypsum board partitions, we can assume either a composite structural behavior or noncomposite structural behavior. Of the two, noncomposite behaviors is more conservative because it ignores the structural contribution of what?

A

gypsum board

21
Q

If the gypsum board in a CFS interior partition extends the full height of the partition (i.e., from top track to bottom track) on both sides:

a. the assumption of a composite structural behavior is valid.
b. the assumption of a noncomposite structural behavior is valid.

A

a. the assumption of a composite structural behavior is valid.

22
Q

If the gypsum board in CFS interior partition extends the full height of the partition (i.e., from top track to bottom track) on both sides, the partition is considered as what?

A

Fully braced

23
Q

When bridging channels are required in an interior gypsum board partition, they must be spaced a maximum of how many inches on center?

A

48 inches on center

24
Q

The use of two nested top tracks in the framing of an interior gypsum board partition it to?

A

Absorb the deflection of the overhead structure

25
Q

The CFS framing for an exterior non load bearing wall used as backup for exterior cladding can either be a bypass framing or an infill framing. The bypass framing can be used for buildings up to how many stories?

A

Up to a two-story building

26
Q

The CFS framing for an exterior non load bearing wall used as backup for exterior cladding can either be a bypass framing or an infill framing. In bypass framing, the studs are connected to an intermediate floor or roof through what?

A

A slide clip

27
Q

Two types of buildings with load bearing CFS walls have been identified in the text: (a) CFS building as Type V (B) construction and (b) CFS buildings as Type II (A) construction. The distinction between the two is primarily based on what?

A

type of material used in floor and roof assemblies

28
Q

WLF walls, CFS walls are assembled on site on the floor of the building and subsequently tilted up and moved into position. True or False?

A

False

29
Q

The anchorage of the bottom track of a load bearing CFS wall to the concrete footing requires what?

A

A 6 inch long stud material to strengthen the connection

30
Q

The corner of a load bearing CFS wall requires a minimum of how many studs?

A

3 studs

31
Q

The top track in a load bearing CFS wall must be doubled in the same way as the top plate in a WLf wall. True or False?

A

False

32
Q

The top track in a load bearing CFS wall must be doubled in the same way as the top plate in a WLF wall. True or False?

A

False

33
Q

In-line framing in a CFS structure means that the floor joist must what?

A

The floor joists must align with the studs in the underlying supporting wall

34
Q 
The benefit of using load bearing CFS framing instead of loading bearing wood frame in seismic zones is the:
a. lighter weight of CFS framing
b. Ductility of steel
C. greater strength of CFS members
d. B and C
d. a, b, and c.
A

D. a, b, and c. The benefit of using load bearing CFS framing instead of loading bearing wood frame in seismic zones is the, lighter weight of CFS framing, Ductility of steel, and greater strength of CFS members.

35
Q

CFS members are made from sheet steel that is provided with corrosion protection before it is formed into shape. True or False

A

True

36
Q

CFS members are made by roll forming of what?

A

Coils of sheet steel
