Cold-Formed Steel Stud Web Crippling

Cold-Formed Steel Stud Web Crippling

(OP)
Have any of you ever checked the capacity of a steel stud for web crippling at a punchout? I have tables for web crippling loads from suppliers but these tables do not consider web punchouts. The tables refer to a web crippling reduction factor per "ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria AC46, Appendix B". I don't know what that reference is or where to find it. I would appreciate any input.

RE: Cold-Formed Steel Stud Web Crippling

(OP)
Yes, I saw that. Thank you for confirming it. I guess I just did't understand what paragraph 4.3.2 was telling me. Since I was referenced to this document, I was thinking I would find an equation to calculate a web crippling reduction factor, not be re-referenced to another document. Now that I actually look at AISI S100 and can determine the phi factor for the ASD method, I think I am on my way.

Thanks
