Steel Frame/Steel Studs Lateral Resistance
Steel Frame/Steel Studs Lateral Resistance
(OP)
Hello all. Does anyone know of a resource (building desing example) where there is a metal frame to support gravity, but where the lateral resistance to wind (controls) is provided by steel stud infill walls.

There are slip tracks with vertical slotted holes available, which would be another option. Then the steel beam WOULD take the gravity load.

A note on this type of structural system is that the cold formed stud walls infill the steel frames. That was the original reason for my question, since I was concerned about the appropiate connections and details between the studs and the steel frame.
