1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1.02 Outstanding design flexibility TrusSteel CFS trusses provide the same span capabilities and design flexibilities as wood trusses. The pre-engineered system allows much greater design flexibility than steel "C" truss framing. As a result, you can design in familiar roof lines - pitched or flat, with hips, gables, gambrels, monos, mansards, cantilevers, overhangs, scissors and floor trusses. This design flexibility makes TrusSteel trusses ideal for almost any building type: new construction, retrofit, commercial, institutional, military, educational, industrial and municipal structures. Easy to specify and design There is a wealth of information available to help you specify and design with TrusSteel. A guide specification in CSI format, and standard details in DXF and DWG formats, can assure that your specs and construction documents are accurate and complete. UL, ICC Legacy report (NER) and Florida Product Approval are available to assist you in making design decisions and in working with code officials. Local TrusSteel fabricators can aid you in making informed decisions about project designs and costs. Responsible products TrusSteel CFS trusses contribute to a safe built environment. They do not emit moisture or fumes during their life cycle. They are resistant to insect attack, and do not provide a medium for the growth of mold. And most of the steel used for CFS framing is recycled steel. Recognized fire resistance Noncombustible TrusSteel trusses provide integral, recognized fire resistance that does not fade with time. See the following pages for a list of TrusSteel's useful, cost-saving UL-listed roof and floor assemblies. Assured structural performance With over fifty years of experience in the truss industry, you can be assured that TrusSteel understands the structural performance of trusses. The powerful steelVIEW TM truss design software analyzes each truss individually using the latest industry standards, guided by the new ANSI/AISI/COFS -AISI-S240-15-Chapter E: North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing--Truss Design, 2015 Edition. Each truss design is reviewed and sealed by a TrusSteel Professional Engineer. Quality trusses TrusSteel CFS trusses are built in a shop environment with experienced fabrication personnel. TrusSteel endorses industry truss shop quality control standards as developed by the Cold-Formed Steel Council. Economical system Since TrusSteel CFS trusses are the stiffest trusses in the industry, less permanent bracing is typically required in the truss system. This feature, combined with excellent performance at 4 ft. on-center spacing or greater, can reduce the cost of the installed truss system through reduced labor costs, materials and project duration. Property insurance premium discounts may provide long-term savings. Nationwide availability TrusSteel supports the largest network of independent CFS truss fabricators in the industry. This nationwide network assures that TrusSteel trusses are available for your projects in every region of the United States.
