Although it often goes unnoticed, earthquake resistance is a critical aspect of architectural design. Steel framing can significantly improve a building's ability to withstand seismic activity due to its inherent flexibility, high strength to weight ratio, and ductile nature which allows it to absorb and dissipate seismic energy. Here, we will learn more about these properties as well as highlight the ET&F® (a BECK brand) fastening systems, which are particularly suited for light gauge steel structures.

Understanding the Basics of Steel Framing
Steel framing is a popular choice in modern construction due to its durability, strength, and resistance to environmental factors like termites and rot. Unlike traditional wood framing, steel framing uses a network of steel components to create the structure of a building.
Understanding the basics of steel framing involves knowing the different types of steel members, such as studs, tracks, and joists, as well as the methods for joining them together. This knowledge is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of your project.
