light gauge design procedures
hello,
every light gauge manufacturer has design tables for various applications.  is there a common source for light gauge design procedures.  more importantly is the source available for free.  tables are very limited in their usefulness.  
thanks
i don't think there is a manual like the aisc manual.  i use the "light steel framing manual", by the steel network.  it covers about everything.  you can go to aisi for more information and codes and standards.
aisi publishes the "cold-formed steel design manual".  unfortunately, it's not free.
by the way, the manual i use is free.  but it is proprietary.
