JAMSTUD NOMENCLATURE
JAMSTUD BACKGROUND
JamStud is a revolutionary addition to the light gauge steel stud industry, producing significant economies in both design and installation
when compared with conventional C Shaped studs. JamStuds unique configuration delivers increased strength and stiffness, mini-
mizing or eliminating the use of built-up jamb and header sections in a curtain wall assembly. Available in all common wall stud depths,
JamStud streamlines the design and construction process. JamStuds shape is easily differentiated from the typical c-shape, enabling
the selection of the most optimal member sizes to fit project conditions. ASIs complimentary Steel Smart System 5.0 software (page 35)
now includes the complete database of sections to quickly design both JamStud header and jamb members.
Benefits That Add Value:
Performance Improvements
Increases load capacity over a standard C-shaped stud of the same thickness
Reduces overall materials used (single JS from double or triple C-Shape common)
Provides a flat surface for attachment of door or window frame (no additional track required)
No welding or fastening built-up members together
Weight Advantages
Lighter weight results in easier handling
Less weight results in shipping efficiencies
Engineering Advantages:
Increased stiffness for deflection
Simplified jamb and header design
JamStud Increased load capacity enables selection of optimal thickness of curtain wall studs

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
LOAD PATHS
Tracing and verifying load paths through a structure is crucial to protect design
liability. Loads need to migrate from the roof, through the wall and floor systems,
and terminate in the foundation. JamStud transfers out-of plane wind loads from
the header and sill to the primary structural system with a single member,
simplifying the verification process. Use of a VertiClip to accommodate vertical
deflection will connect the JamStud web to the structure and provide a positive,
verifiable connection path.
The optional StiffClip CL or AL at the base of the wall resists web crippling and
delivers an effective load transfer element to the structure.
The images below illustrate the simplicity in tracing a verifiable load path in a wall
opening. Three examples are given. The example on the left shows slab-to-slab
framing, in the middle is a diagram of bypass (balloon) framing, and to the right of
that illustrates the loads at a sill and the bottom end of the JamStud .
The largest arrows in each diagram indicate end reactions at the structure, with the medium-sized arrows signifying
the reactions from the header and sill to JamStud . The smallest arrows point to a uniform wind load. A web stiffener is
sometimes required at the top and bottom of the stud and is dependent on the end reactions present. Use of VertiClip
SL at the top and either StiffClip AL or StiffClip CL at the bottom satisfy the web stiffener requirements (if needed).
THERMAL VALUE
JamStud provides an improvement in thermal considerations over built-up sections.
(Air

JamStud reduces the amount of materials used The additional webs in a built-up section
in the jamb, reducing the thermal bridge increases the area of the thermal bridge. In
as well as requiring less insulation. addition, insulation is required inside the cavity
or cavities created in the built-up section.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
PRIMARY STRUCTURAL DEFLECTION
All structures deflect vertically. To prevent non-axial-load-bearing studs from carrying the weight of the structure and to protect finishes,
vertical deflection connections should be incorporated at the earliest possible moment of project design. The load-carrying capacity
of a steel stud in bending is reduced significantly when adding an axial force propagated by the bending of a primary beam or slab.
VertiClip was developed to prevent the crushing effect on non-axial-load-bearing wall studs. Non-axial-load-bearing wall studs include
exterior curtain wall and interior wall assemblies. When project conditions dictate, lateral drift and vertical deflection may be accommo-
dated through utilization of TSNs DriftClip and DriftTrak lines of connectors.
Finished walls frequently experience cracking, buckling, or crushing due to improper isolation of building movement. The movement of
the primary building structure is largely accounted for in horizontal member live loading. In addition to live loads, wind, seismic forces,
moisture content in materials, and temperature cycles all contribute to movement. The incorporation of vertical deflection connections
during the working drawing phase will eliminate the liability of failures and added costs associated with wall system installation.
The VertiClip and DriftClip series of mechanical connectors is a complete solution for all vertical deflection configurations. Substantial
effort has been made to standardize construction practices thus ensuring the positive connections of light steel framing components.
VertiClip has undergone extensive field and independent laboratory testing to achieve a true slip connection solution that isolates all sec-
ondary frame components from loads induced by vertical movement.
WALL BRIDGING
As axial compression and lateral wind loads are applied, wall studs react with
weak axis buckling and torsional rotation. To offset these results, a form of
bridging is incorporated into the wall system.
The allowable load capacity of steel studs is dependant upon the presence of
securely-attached wall bridging systems at specific vertical intervals (48" or 60"
o.c.).
Bridging is typically addressed with either a channel running through the stud
punchouts securely fastened to each stud or by flat straps attached to each
stud flange.
Each VertiClip and DriftClip is delivered to the installer with step bushings pre-installed for
accurate fastener placement. Connection examples shown on this page represent possible
application solutions. Connection use is dependant upon project load requirements. Solu-
tions are found in The Steel Networks Light Steel Framing Connection Catalog. Contact

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD SECTION PROPERTIES
Important Notes
1. Section properties and capacities are calculated in accordance with AISI-NASPEC 2001 with 2004 Supplement
2. Tabulated gross properties are based on the full, unreduced cross section of the stud away from punchouts.
3. Effective section properties incorporate the strength increase from cold work of forming as applicable per AISI-NASPEC, Sec. A7.2.
4. Net effective section properties are calculated at a cross section through the punchout.
5. For deflection calculations, use the effective moment of inertia Ix & Iy, which are calculated at a stress 0.6 Fy (service load level).

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS DESIGN EXAMPLE
DESIGNING JAMSTUD
JamStud Header
WC&C is the Component and Cladding wind load. The Dead Load (D) acting on the stud is assumed minimum
and therefore neglected in the tables.
For the deflection determination, IBC 2003, IBC2006-Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Standard 2004, Sec. B1 allow for a
reduction factor of 0.7 on the Component and Cladding wind load (0.7WC&C).
The JamStud - Allowable Heights tables are based on the following assumptions:
4-Way distribution of lateral wind pressure acting on the opening
Opening height extends from the floor level to the bottom surface of the header
Jamb member supports wind pressure from the opening, wind pressure from half of the distance to the adjacent
stud, and header reaction
The input for the tables includes the JamStud section, opening width (ft.), opening height (ft.) design wind pressure (WC&C, psf),
and specified deflection limit. The output from the tables reflects the allowable JamStud height (ft.-in.) and the controlling
design factor, whether it is deflection or strength ("f" denotes strength, nothing denotes deflection). An * denotes critical web
crippling at support of Jamb. The use of stiffening clips at supports typically eliminates the web crippling condition.

DESIGNING JAMSTUD
Conclusion:
The second JamStud option, 600JS350-68, is a lighter section with less mil thickness. Use a 600JS350-68 (50ksi) (with design thick-
ness = 0.0566 and Fy = 50 ksi). Allow 2 rows of bridging for the wall (including jamb stud) arranged so that the maximum spacing does
not exceed 60 in. (5 ft.).

* Web crippling at the ends of the stud is not satisfied per AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004 Sec. C4. Use VertiClip SL and
StiffClip CL or AL at the top and the bottom ends of the stud, respectively, to eliminate web crippling, or refer to TSNs Light Steel
Framing Members Catalog for web crippling load tables.
** The closure track for the window frame attachment was not considered as part of the design cross-section since it does not extend
to the full height of the jamb.

Important Notes
1. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load combinations in ASCE 7-05 and
IBC 2006.
2. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC 2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud
Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5 psf lateral pressure where 1.0 load factor is used).
3. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table values not denoted by "f"
by 85% to calculate the proper JS allowable height. Table values denoted by "f" are controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
4. "f" denotes limiting wall height is controlled by strength. All other heights are controlled by deflection.
5. "*" denotes critical web crippling at support of Jamb based on AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004 Sec. C4. Use of stiffening clips at
supports eliminate the web crippling condition.
6. Limiting heights are based on continuous support of each flange over
the full length of the stud.
7. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear
capacity values of the stud through punched section.
8. Values for multi-span and load bearing conditions are available.

4. "f" denotes limiting wall height is controlled by strength. All other heights are controlled by deflection.
5. "*" denotes critical web crippling at support of Jamb based on AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004 Sec. C4. Use of stiffening clips at
supports eliminate the web crippling condition.
6. Limiting heights are based on continuous support of each flange
over the full length of the stud.
7. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear
capacity values of the stud through punched section.
8. Values for multi-span and load bearing conditions are available.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEIGHTS
Important Notes
1. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load combinations in ASCE 7-05 and
IBC 2006.
2. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC 2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud
Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5 psf lateral pressure where 1.0 load factor is used).
3. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table values not denoted by "f"
by 85% to calculate the proper JS allowable height. Table values denoted by "f" are controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
4. "f" denotes limiting wall height is controlled by strength. All other heights are controlled by deflection.
5. "*" denotes critical web crippling at support of Jamb based on AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004 Sec. C4. Use of stiffening clips at
supports eliminate the web crippling condition.
6. Limiting heights are based on continuous support of each flange
over the full length of the stud.
7. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear
capacity values of the stud through punched section.
8. Values for multi-span and load bearing conditions are available.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEIGHTS
Important Notes
1. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load combinations in ASCE 7-05 and
IBC 2006.
2. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC 2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud
Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5 psf lateral pressure where 1.0 load factor is used).
3. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table values not denoted by "f"
by 85% to calculate the proper JS allowable height. Table values denoted by "f" are controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
4. "f" denotes limiting wall height is controlled by strength. All other heights are controlled by deflection.
5. "*" denotes critical web crippling at support of Jamb based on AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004 Sec. C4. Use of stiffening clips at
supports eliminate the web crippling condition.
6. Limiting heights are based on continuous support of each flange
over the full length of the stud.
7. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear
capacity values of the stud through punched section.
8. Values for multi-span and load bearing conditions are available.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEIGHTS
Important Notes
1. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load combinations in ASCE 7-05 and
IBC 2006.
2. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC 2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud
Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5 psf lateral pressure where 1.0 load factor is used).
3. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table values not denoted by "f"
by 85% to calculate the proper JS allowable height. Table values denoted by "f" are controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
4. "f" denotes limiting wall height is controlled by strength. All other heights are controlled by deflection.
5. "*" denotes critical web crippling at support of Jamb based on AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004 Sec. C4. Use of stiffening clips at
supports eliminate the web crippling condition.
6. Limiting heights are based on continuous support of each flange
over the full length of the stud.
7. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear
capacity values of the stud through punched section.
8. Values for multi-span and load bearing conditions are available.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEIGHTS
Important Notes
1. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load combinations in ASCE 7-05 and
IBC 2006.
2. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC 2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud
Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5 psf lateral pressure where 1.0 load factor is used).
3. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table values not denoted by "f"
by 85% to calculate the proper JS allowable height. Table values denoted by "f" are controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
4. "f" denotes limiting wall height is controlled by strength. All other heights are controlled by deflection.
5. "*" denotes critical web crippling at support of Jamb based on AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004 Sec. C4. Use of stiffening clips at
supports eliminate the web crippling condition.
6. Limiting heights are based on continuous support of each flange
over the full length of the stud.
7. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear
capacity values of the stud through punched section.
8. Values for multi-span and load bearing conditions are available.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEIGHTS
Important Notes
1. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load combinations in ASCE 7-05 and
IBC 2006.
2. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC 2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud
Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5 psf lateral pressure where 1.0 load factor is used).
3. "f" denotes limiting wall height is controlled by strength. All other heights are controlled by deflection.
4. "*" denotes critical web crippling at support of Jamb based on AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004 Sec. C4. Use of stiffening clips at
supports eliminate the web crippling condition.
5. Limiting heights are based on continuous support of each flange over the full length of the stud.
6. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear capacity values
of the stud through punched section.
7. Values for multi-span and load bearing conditions are available.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS PROJECT EXAMPLES
Use of JamStud as jambs and openings on this 8 story project saved the contractor significant time
and labor expenses. With the high amount of openings (500+) it is easy to see how JamStud posi-
tively benefits installation. Use of JamStud in lieu of built-up jambs and headers cut materials by
over 50% and reduced labor associated with the built-up materials.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS HEADER/SILL SOLUTIONS
JAMSTUD HEADER/SILL ASSEMBLY VALUE
JamStud delivers exceptional value when
utilized as part of a header or sill assembly.
JamStuds unique shape allows for the design
and construction of a lightweight header versus
the more cumbersome built-up header assem-

blies. Oriented horizontally, JamStud provides
an increased stiffness and strength compared
with standard cee studs, resulting in lighter
headers which require less labor to install.

The Steel Networks StiffClip AL series represents an ideal
method to transfer loads from the header or sill to the jamb.
Stiffened ribs add strength, and guide holes are provided for
quick and accurate fastener placement. StiffClip AL is
available in 3-5/8, 6" and 8 depths. See TSNs Light Steel
Framing Connections Catalog for allowable load data.
HIGH-WIND-LOAD HEADERS
In high wind and axial load bearing wall applications, JamStud may be placed inside of a deep-leg track to provide a strong labor-efficient
alternative to four-piece Box headers. While the amount of fasteners remains consistent, use of JamStud reduces material handling by
half to streamline the installation process. Load is effectively transferred to the jambs via TSNs StiffClip HE connectors. With the use
of box headers, Jack Studs are also typically used to support the header vertically. The shelf leg of the StiffClip HE supports the header
vertically to eliminate the use of a Jack Stud. In addition, the StiffClip HE provides web crippling resistance for the header.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS HEADER/SILL DESIGN
DESIGNING JAMSTUD
JamStud Header
The JamStud allowable curtain wall header span tables in this catalog cover the following basic load combination for the
Allowable Stress Design (ASD) Method (IBC2006 and ASCE 7-05):
Where WC&C is the Component and Cladding wind load. A sheathing dead load (D) of 12 psf acting vertically on the header is
assumed in the tables.
For the deflection determination, IBC 2003, IBC2006-Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Standard 2004, Sec. B1 allow for a
reduction factor of 0.7 on the Component and Cladding wind load (0.7WC&C).
The JamStud - Allowable Header Span tables are based on the following assumptions:

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEADER SPANS
Important Notes
1. A sheathing dead load of 12 psf acting vertically on the header is considered in the calculations.
2. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load
combinations in ASCE 7-05 and IBC 2006.
3. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC
2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5psf lateral pressure
where 1.0 load factor is used.)
4. "f" denotes limiting header span is controlled by strength. All other spans are controlled by deflection.
5. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table
values not denoted by f by 85% to calculate the proper JS header span. Table values denoted by f are
controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
6. Header is assumed to be connected to jamb member through a stiffening clip to eliminate a web crippling
condition.
7. Limiting header spans are based on continuous support of each flange over the full length of the member.
8. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear capacity values of the header.
9. Designate JamStud without punchouts on drawings when utilized for header applications.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEADER SPANS
Important Notes
1. A sheathing dead load of 12 psf acting vertically on the header is considered in the calculations.
2. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load
combinations in ASCE 7-05 and IBC 2006.
3. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC
2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5psf lateral
pressure where 1.0 load factor is used.)
4. "f" denotes limiting header span is controlled by strength. All other spans are controlled by deflection.
5. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table
values not denoted by f by 85% to calculate the proper JS header span. Table values denoted by f are
controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
6. Header is assumed to be connected to jamb member through a stiffening clip to eliminate a web crippling
condition.
7. Limiting header spans are based on continuous support of each flange over the full length of the member.
8. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear capacity values of the header.
9. Designate JamStud without punchouts on drawings when utilized for header applications.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEADER SPANS
Important Notes
1. A sheathing dead load of 12 psf acting vertically on the header is considered in the calculations.
2. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load
combinations in ASCE 7-05 and IBC 2006.
3. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC
2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5psf lateral
pressure where 1.0 load factor is used.)
4. "f" denotes limiting header span is controlled by strength. All other spans are controlled by deflection.
5. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table
values not denoted by f by 85% to calculate the proper JS header span. Table values denoted by f are
controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
6. Header is assumed to be connected to jamb member through a stiffening clip to eliminate a web crippling
condition.
7. Limiting header spans are based on continuous support of each flange over the full length of the member.
8. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear capacity values of the header.
9. Designate JamStud without punchouts on drawings when utilized for header applications.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEADER SPANS
Important Notes
1. A sheathing dead load of 12 psf acting vertically on the header is considered in the calculations.
2. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load
combinations in ASCE 7-05 and IBC 2006.
3. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC
2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5psf lateral
pressure where 1.0 load factor is used.)
4. "f" denotes limiting header span is controlled by strength. All other spans are controlled by deflection.
5. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table
values not denoted by f by 85% to calculate the proper JS header span. Table values denoted by f are
controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
6. Header is assumed to be connected to jamb member through a stiffening clip to eliminate a web crippling
condition.
7. Limiting header spans are based on continuous support of each flange over the full length of the member.
8. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear capacity values of the header.
9. Designate JamStud without punchouts on drawings when utilized for header applications.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEADER SPANS
Important Notes
1. A sheathing dead load of 12 psf acting vertically on the header is considered in the calculations.
2. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load
combinations in ASCE 7-05 and IBC 2006.
3. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC
2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5psf lateral
pressure where 1.0 load factor is used.)
4. "f" denotes limiting header span is controlled by strength. All other spans are controlled by deflection.
5. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table
values not denoted by f by 85% to calculate the proper JS header span. Table values denoted by f are
controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
6. Header is assumed to be connected to jamb member through a stiffening clip to eliminate a web crippling
condition.
7. Limiting header spans are based on continuous support of each flange over the full length of the member.
8. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear capacity values of the header.
9. Designate JamStud without punchouts on drawings when utilized for header applications.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEADER SPANS
Important Notes
1. A sheathing dead load of 12 psf acting vertically on the header is considered in the calculations.
2. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load
combinations in ASCE 7-05 and IBC 2006.
3. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC
2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5psf lateral
pressure where 1.0 load factor is used.)
4. "f" denotes limiting header span is controlled by strength. All other spans are controlled by deflection.
5. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table
values not denoted by f by 85% to calculate the proper JS header span. Table values denoted by f are
controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
6. Header is assumed to be connected to jamb member through a stiffening clip to eliminate a web crippling
condition.
7. Limiting header spans are based on continuous support of each flange over the full length of the member.
8. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear capacity values of the header.
9. Designate JamStud without punchouts on drawings when utilized for header applications.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS JAMSTUD ALLOWABLE HEADER SPANS
Important Notes
1. A sheathing dead load of 12 psf acting vertically on the header is considered in the calculations.
2. No load factor for lateral wind pressure is used for strength determination as per ASD basic load
combinations in ASCE 7-05 and IBC 2006.
3. A load factor of 0.7 for lateral wind pressure is used for deflection determination as per IBC
2006, Sec. 1604.3 and AISI-Wall Stud Design Std. 2004, Sec. B1 (Except for 5psf lateral
pressure where 1.0 load factor is used.)
4. "f" denotes limiting header span is controlled by strength. All other spans are controlled by deflection.
5. If wind reduction factor for deflection determination is not allowed by a specific building code, multiply table
values not denoted by f by 85% to calculate the proper JS header span. Table values denoted by f are
controlled by strength and should not be reduced.
6. Header is assumed to be connected to jamb member through a stiffening clip to eliminate a web crippling
condition.
7. Limiting header spans are based on continuous support of each flange over the full length of the member.
8. Strength determination includes checks for bending and shear capacity values of the header.
9. Designate JamStud without punchouts on drawings when utilized for header applications.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS CONNECTIONS
PRIMARY STRUCTURAL DEFLECTION
All structures deflect vertically. To prevent non-axial-load-bearing studs from carrying the weight of the structure and to protect finishes, vertical deflec-
tion connections should be incorporated at the earliest possible moment of project design. The load-carrying capacity of a steel stud in bending is
reduced significantly when adding an axial force propagated by the bending of a primary beam or slab. VertiClip was developed to prevent the crush-
ing effect on non-axial-load-bearing wall studs. Non-axial-load-bearing wall studs include exterior curtain wall and interior wall assemblies. When project
conditions dictate, lateral drift and vertical deflection may be accommodated through utilization of TSNs DriftClip and DriftTrak lines of connectors.
Finished walls frequently experience cracking, buckling, or crushing due to improp-
er isolation of building movement. The movement of the primary building struc-
ture is largely accounted for in horizontal member live loading. In addition to live
loads, wind, seismic forces, moisture content in materials, and temperature cycles
all contribute to movement. The incorporation of vertical deflection connections
during the working drawing phase will eliminate the liability of failures and added
costs associated with wall system installation. The VertiClip and DriftClip series of
mechanical connectors is a complete solution for all vertical deflection configura-
tions. Substantial effort has been made to standardize construction practices thus
ensuring the positive connections of light steel framing components. VertiClip has
undergone extensive field and independent laboratory testing to achieve a true
slip connection solution that isolates all secondary frame components from loads
induced by vertical movement.

CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS BRIDGING
BRIDGING BACKGROUND
Bridging for load bearing studs is needed to resist the following forces:
1 - Weak axis buckling induced by axial compression load.
2 - Torsion induced by wind load.
AISI Wall Stud Design Standard (2004), referenced by 2006 IBC; or AISI-NAS Specification (2007) provides the load and stiffness
requirements for bracing members due to the effects of axial compression load and wind load as given in the table below. Contact TSN
Technical Support (888) 474-4876 if further information is needed regarding wall bridging design.
BRIDGING REQUIREMENTS
Load Capacity:
Twist Load PL = 1.5 x Wind Load x Bridging Spacing x Stud Spacing x m(Shear Center Distance) / Stud Depth.
WIND
Twist Moment M1 = PL x Stud Depth.
BridgeClip
BC600/BC800 BridgeBar
