SF0010PE - SECONDARY FRAMING

1. Standard Secondary Framing consists of Cold Formed Z shaped roof purlins

and wall girts. C shaped wall girts may be used for framed openings and other
special applications.
2. Z and C members are shop punched for simple field bolted connections.
3. Z and C members are available in either 8 or 10 inch depths. 12 and 14 inch
members depths are available on a limited basis. Consult the plant for specifics.
4. Optional Open-Web joists are available for wide bay applications with spans over
40 feet, and for mezzanine applications.
5. All section properties listed in this section were determined using the proper
provisions of the Cold-Formed Steel Design Manual, AISI, 1996 Edition. Any
use of these properties for design should also be completed per these provisions.
6. As a standard, all bypass roof purlins and wall girts will utilize a shop welded clip.
Bolted clips are also available.
7. Some Nucor Divisions may offer welded clips for inset or flush girts.
Contact your NBS Division for availability.

CLEARBAY CFR:
What jobs are ClearBay CFR? All jobs with a standard CFR panel system (non-composite)
over roof joist.

What jobs are NOT ClearBay CFR? Jobs with Deck, VR16 II, Classic Roof, Etc.

The ClearBay CFR system was created to standardize bridging rows to speed up the
Estimating process and simplify the system.

There are two types of ClearBay jobs:

o Type 1..Jobs that have bays that range from 30 to 60 can have pre-determined
bridging locations. Click the following link to see the pre-determined locations
ClearBay Pre-determined Bridging Locations. These pre-determined locations where
set in place to help reduce the need for the standard quote process, making the
turnaround time for joist quotes much faster. Not all jobs can utilize these standard
bridging locations, see Type 2.
o Type 2..Jobs that need to go through the standard quote process. Here are some
reasons a job may need the standard quote process.

Bays less than 30 or bays greater than 60

High uplift regions (Hurricane) **

High deflection criteria **

Heavy roof top loads **

** = The pre-determined bridging (30-60 bays) may not be the most economical choice for
some of these reasons, BUT they are still considered ClearBay because they will still utilize
reduced bridging.

These jobs can be either All Bolted, Bolted With Some Welding Reqd, or Welded.

These joists will be detailed the same as our typical roof joist system. The reduced bridging will
be specified by Vulcraft. No other considerations need to be taken into account. You will utilize
the ClearBay ordering spreadsheet.

Note: If you mark a job as non-ClearBay, Vulcraft will not design the joists utilizing the standard
bridging rows. This may cost Nucor extra money. Please verify if you are unsure if its ClearBay or
not.

SF0080PE - COLD-FORMED BOX BEAMS
1. Cold-formed box beams consist of two C or S sections, forming a cold-formed tube.
2. These tubes may be square or rectangular in shape.
3. The height of the box beam matches the purlin depth. The depth of the box beam will be 8,
10, or 12, depending on the design requirements of a particular project.
4. Cold-formed box beams are typically used as a replacement for the eave strut, eave purlin, or
strong-back eave beam.
5. Standard connection for the box beam to primary framing member is with either (2) or (4)
diameter A325 bolts per end.
