Framing Systems Installation Manual

1 Rondosteel studFraming Systems Installation ManualrevIS ed: october 2008design considerationsgeneral informationThe Rondo Steel Stud and Track sections detailed in this Installation Manual will provide designers with the scope to design internal Framing Systems which are not only durable and versatile, but are manufactured to enable designs to be carried out in accordance with the BCA and appropriate Australian and New Zealand Standards. The design tables have been formulated to comply with AS/NZS 4600:1996 for cold formed steel structures, together with the industry standards listed on Page 3, accompanied by substantial laboratory Manual will provide designers and contractors with user friendly methods for installing steel stud drywall and stud ceiling Systems for of fire rated or sound rated walls can be achieved using Rondo Steel Stud Framing Systems and refer to the appropriate technical literature published by the respective lining board manufacturers for more detailed instructions on designing and installing fire-rated or sound-rated drywall saving features Drywall steel Framing Systems and finishing trade contractors are one and the same, improving on-site coordination.

2 Rondo Drywall steel Framing Systems are approximately 88% lighter than a 110mm single brick rendered wall. Once erected, steel stud Systems can be sheeted immediately as no drying-out time is required. Bell-mouthed service holes at 600mm centres do not require grommets for cabling. Service holes start at 150mm from the end of the stud and are spaced at 600mm centres up to a maximum of five holes in any one studs only can be manufactured, to order, with service holes along the entire length. Stock and sub pack quantities are strapped for easy lifting by crane/forklifts or manually. Rondo manufactures a range of studs/tracks/noggings in various widths, lengths and material gauges. , and studs can be boxed for extra strength at door openings or where extra loads are to be carried such as shelving, profile design of Rondo steel studs has been tested to give maximum performance when installed.

3 The design tables formulated make use of the test data obtained by lining board manufacturers, Rondo s own in-house testing, and by using AS/NZS 4600:1996 cold formed steel structures for the ate r i a lRondo steel stud sections detailed in this Manual are manufactured from Bluescope Steel hot dipped zinc-coated steel strip with a minimum coating thickness of Z275 (275gram zinc m2) to AS/NZS 1397-2002 Steel Sheet and & handlingRondo Framing Systems come in convenient stock-pack and sub-pack quantities for ease of handling and storage. Rondo Framing Systems should be handled with care and stored in a dry, protected area away from airborne contaminants such as overspray from brick cleaning instruction applies to all products whether designed for internal or external Rondo steel stud and track sections are easily identified with an ink-jetted description of their part number, width, length and thickness on the web of the product.

For this reason do not screw the lining board to the track sections unless specifically sections and have hemmed flanges with nominal heights of 29mm and 46mm for standard and deflection head track respectively.

10 Bmt track sections are not hemmed and have nominal flange heights of 32 and general, where walls are lined both sides, standard tracks are used unless the project engineer has indicated that deflection heads are required; for example, under a concrete slab or where the wall height is 4800mm or greater. For stud Framing unlined or only lined one side, see notes accompanying Nogging Tables within this is no requirement to isolate the track sections from slabs, unless specifically stated. Track sections are nominally 3000mm long and should be fixed at not more than 600mm centres. Fixings should be placed within 100mm from either end of the track sections*.friction jointsFriction fit and deflection heads require special detailing to achieve their design capacity (refer to figure 2 for specific details).
