What is a bridging channel and what is its role in cold-formed steel (CFS) construction?

What will be an ideal response?


The studs, used in CFS walls, are open-shape (C-shape) sections. Therefore, they are subject to twisting and distortion under gravity loads. Bridging channels prevent this from occurring.
