| Publisher Description: The Prescriptive Method for Connecting Cold-Formed Steel Framing to Insulating Concrete Form Walls in Residential Construction was developed as a guideline for the connection of cold-formed steel (CFS) frame assemblies and structures to insulating concrete form (ICF) exterior walls in the construction of single-family homes. The common connections between cold-formed steel framing and insulating concrete form walls are CFS interior walls to ICF exterior walls; CFS floor decks to ICF exterior walls; CFS roof structures to ICF exterior walls; and upper-story CFS exterior walls to lower-story ICF exterior walls. For each connection there are alternative connection methods that are believed to be economical and reliable. The guide contains recommended specifications for such connections.
