  Steel framing has emerged as one of the residential construction industry's hottest technologies, largely because of the soaring cost of lumber. Despite the fact that trade journals devoted more space to residential steel framing than any other topic last year, the industry has not had a handbook on the subject - until now. This book provides in-depth coverage of steel framing, discussing the advantages and thoroughly explaining the techniques. Valuable features include reference charts that outline standards and materials costs, information on the newest materials and tools, and the latest details on the code-exceeding aspects of steel framing. Chapters cover specific topics such as steel frame construction, steel frame joist assembly, and more.
