| THE NEW STEEL - FEEL THE
STRENGTH |
|
| No one needs to sell the strength
of steel, durability or the peace of mind it
carries. Now with the advent of new high tech
coating procedures, tests show a life expectancy
on the coating protection of the base metal
of well over 150 years! |
|
| Steel studs have been used
in the construction industry for well over
50 years with a proven track record in commercial
construction where the specifications have
exceeded those required in residential construction. |
|
| The FRO MAR Structural Steel
Panel System is an innovative patented product,
using galvanized steel to achieve its strength
and durability. |
|
| The wall sections produced
can accommodate the designer's plan for residential
or commercial. |

| This table summarizes the
average nominal axial load for the FRO MAR
Panels tested with the applicable ? and o factors. |
|
| Average Nominal Panel Axial
Capacity (lb) 1,2,3 |
|
| 1. |
Values are
pounds per linear foot of wall. |
| 2. |
The 9-foot and 20 gauge
panel capacities were interpolated from
the average peak loads for 8-foot, 10-foot,
22 gauge and 18 gauge panels. |
| 3. |
For LRFD a ”o“ factor
of 0.82 shall be used. For ASD a “?“ factor
of 1.95 shall be used. |
|

Values in
parenthesis are pounds per square foot
(psf) of wall.. |
| 2. |
The 9-foot and 20 gauge
panel capacities were interpolated from
the average peak loads for 8-foot, 10-foot,
22 gauge and 18 gauge panels. |
| 3. |
For LRFD a ”o“ factor
of 0.82 shall be used. For ASD a “?“ factor
of 1.95 shall be used. |
