Steel joists on wood walls
(OP)
We have a situation where steel bar joists is the most economical solution for the floors and 2X8 wood stud is the most economical for the bearing walls. What are the connection requirements for steel joists bearing on wood framing? Is it allowed?

If you are type 5, I believe you can use the steel, but, but if you are a lower type number, the wood walls may not be allowed.
