Disadvantage of using Girt Joist in leu of Stl beams for perimeter framing
(OP)
What , if any, are the disadvantages of using Girt joists for perimeter framing.
I've heard there are drag strut issues, not sure if thats related to the connnection between the perimeter stl deck and perimeter framing.
Also, has anyone used Girt joists to "make" CBF's. I've seem Girt joists baced with tension members, but I have not seem them used in compression!

I suspect you have a good idea of your question, but it's not clear to anyone else.
