Cold Formed Steel Buildings - Lateral Systems
Cold Formed Steel Buildings - Lateral Systems
(OP)
Can anyone point me to a guide or give me your thoughts on lateral systems for cold formed residential buildings of 8-12 stories in the eastern, low seismic US?
I'm thinking cast in place shear walls at the stair towers or braced frames. I don't think CMU would cut it.
Also, 10-12 stories seems like a stretch for a building of this type, correct?

Steel frame with metal stud infill is my suggestion.
