Synopsis
The concept of Light Weight Steel Framing (LWSF) started in USA and Europe more than 100 years ago, and the system has continued to evolve and improved since then. Today it is widely used in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Asia. Light Weight Steel Framing systems acceptance increased primarily in residential housing projects but also become the preferred system for JKR school projects in Malaysia. Having said that, coated steel has been widely used as lightweight steel framing because of its sustainability benefits such as lightweight, longer life cycle and recyclability over conventional material.
As a building’s framing works in conjunction with its foundation to provide strength and stability for the structure; it is also another critical component of the load path. The integrity of the overall building depends not only upon the strength of these components, but also on the adequacy of the connections that exist between them.
With the demand for green, sustainable and affordable solutions has also grown exceptionally and becoming more important in Malaysia’s building & construction arena in recent years. This is especially true for affordable housing project, whereby balancing the requirement of sustainability, cost and lead-time is often the critical success factor for such projects.
