I have looked aroung this forum for a thread going over a similar problem, but to no luck.
I am trying to re-produce some of the values in the Bailey Metal Products load bearing studs table, using RISA 3D to get a bit of a start on code references. However, I am getting nowhere near the strength that Bailey is reporting, using the same assumptions as them (braced at 1220mm).
Has anyone ran into this? I thought perhaps that it was because they clasify the wall as sheathed, but I'd imagine that would be reflected in the 1220mm bracing anyways. RISA 3D does not code check steel studs when modeled as a wall panel so I have been doing it as single members.
