Adoption Info of Georgia Cold-Formed Steel Structural Member Code 2016
- AISI S100-16 (North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members) with Georgia-specific amendments
Effective Dates
- January 1, 2016 – Present
Adopts with Amendments
- AISI S100-16 (North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members)
Scope
- The Georgia Cold-Formed Steel Structural Member Code 2016 applies to the design, fabrication, and installation of cold-formed steel structural members used in construction, including walls, floors, roofs, and framing. This code ensures adequate strength, durability, and stability for cold-formed steel structures, covering material specifications, connection requirements, and load-bearing capacity.
Exception #1: Non-structural cold-formed steel elements, such as decorative or partition walls, may follow simplified standards if they do not bear significant loads.
Exception #2: Temporary structures or light-duty installations, such as those used during construction, may have reduced requirements based on intended use and duration.
