Steel Framing

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Hadley Group is a prominent European manufacturer specializing in cold rolled sections, particularly lightweight steel framing for construction. Their mission focuses on exceeding customer expectations through quality and innovation.
Product Profile
The Structural Sections Framing (SSF) provides a pre-galvanized steel framing solution for load-bearing applications, ideal for external wall support and structural frameworks in buildings, especially beneficial for weight-saving designs.
Design and Detailing Software
The Hadley Group offers UltraPRO and UltraCAM software for design and detailing, available for free upon request. These tools help optimize material use and reduce costs.
Manufacture and Quality Assurance
SSF products are manufactured in the West Midlands, UK, by Structural Sections Limited, a subsidiary of The Hadley Group. The company complies with ISO 9001:2000 standards and is a member of the Steel Construction Institute.
Technical Support
Comprehensive technical support is available, enhanced by finite analysis software. The products are made from recyclable steel, promoting environmentally friendly construction methods.
Wall Construction Systems
SSF offers two main walling systems: Non-Continuous Infill and Continuous External Walling Systems, suitable for various cladding types and applicable to low and high-rise projects.
Non-Continuous Infill Walling System
This lightweight, dry construction method offers savings in material weight and construction time, fixed between primary structure members, allowing for continuous external cladding.
Continuous External Walling System
Designed to maximize floor area, this system uses cleats attached to floor slabs to support vertical sections, accommodating vertical movement due to deflection, suitable for buildings over three storeys.
Section Properties and Dimensions
Detailed tables of section properties and dimensions, including mass, area, and structural capacities, assist in design and construction planning.
Conclusion
The Hadley Group's SSF products provide innovative, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions for modern construction needs, supported by advanced software and technical expertise.
Overview
The document outlines technical specifications and guidelines for the Structural Sections Framing-Continuous System, designed to handle lateral wind loads, detailing components, installation procedures, and structural calculations for effective implementation in construction projects.
Specifications
The system transfers lateral wind loads from outer cladding to the primary structure through cleat connections, including components like floor tracks, deflection head tracks, and various cills, lintels, and jambs for specific opening sizes and wind load conditions.
Installation Procedures
The installation process emphasizes removing fixings in horizontal slots after securing vertical slots to allow for vertical deflection, using self-drilling and self-tapping flush head fixing screws, with quantities and spacings determined by structural calculations.
Components and Configurations
Various configurations for cills and lintels, suitable for different opening sizes and wind load conditions, and different jamb configurations, including basic, single stud, and those with brick ties, catering to various opening sizes and external finishes.
Structural Calculations
Span tables and load-bearing capacities for different structural sections provide maximum lateral wind load capacities and allowable safe axial loads, crucial for ensuring structural integrity under specified conditions.
Bracing and Reinforcement
Instructions for bracing and reinforcing joists and walls, including lateral bracing straps and blocking at specified intervals to prevent web crippling and ensure stability under load concentrations.
Industrial Partition Walls
The system is applicable for industrial partition walls, offering a lightweight solution with high performance in fire, thermal, and sound transference, minimizing the need for foundation or floor strengthening, reducing project time and costs.
Tables and Data
Extensive tables detail span capacities, load limits, and deflection limits for various structural sections, providing essential data for engineers and builders to make informed decisions during construction.
Specifications
All cold roll-formed sections are manufactured from quality steel with a minimum yield strength of 390 N/mm2 and a pre-hot dipped galvanized coating Z275. Structural calculations comply with BS5950 pt5 1988, and loadings are determined by BS6399.
Installation and Fabrication
Installers must submit construction details for approval before fabrication. Components should be cut square unless an angular fit is required. Fixings must adhere to structural calculations and drawings. Temporary bracing may be necessary to achieve a satisfactory structural framework.
Cladding and Insulation
Internal linings and insulation should be selected and fixed according to manufacturer's recommendations to ensure specified performance for acoustic, fire, load-bearing, and thermal requirements. Masonry should be tied back to wall studs using proprietary stainless steel wall ties.
Fixing Guide
A detailed guide for selecting appropriate fasteners for various applications, including low profile fixings, plasterboard, thermal sheathing, wall ties, and general fixings for gusset plates and angle brackets.
Applications
SSF light gauge steel framing systems are used in various building projects, including infill systems for walls, standalone structural frames, floors, over-roofing, and industrial partitions, offering infinite design possibilities with cold roll-formed pre-galvanized steel stud and track sections assembled on-site.
