Explain the four parts of the designation of a cold-formed steel section: 1000S250 -68.

What will be an ideal response?


"S" means it is a stud section (for use as stud, floor joist, or rafter); "1000" means that the web depth = 10.00 in.; 250 indicates the flange width = 2.50 in.; and "68" gives the sheet thickness = 68 mil = 0.068 in. Web depth of 10 in. and sheet thickness of 68 mil indicates that the section will likely be used as floor joist.
