Agenda Highlights (Courtesy of MASFA):
Up until the past 10 years or so, no engineering was required, and everyone just knew what was necessary for interior, non-structural framing. But that is changing. Manufacturers have developed various proprietary studs that may benefit the contractor and the project over the use of standard drywall studs. These new products have become known as “EQ” studs in the industry, with several different products out there from multiple manufacturers. Confusion has ensued, and there are many instances now in which architects, contractors, structural engineers, and building officials are searching for help to understand and get guidance on the proper use of these new non-structural products. This session will consist of a panel of experts and manufacturer’s representatives who will enlighten attendees with knowledge and their experiences with the “EQ” products, as well as answer questions.
