INTRODUCTION
The primary objective of good construction is to erect a building that is structurally sound.
The
structure should withstand such forces as wind and vertical loads.
PART A - FRAMING MEMBERS
Wall framing consists of studs, plates, braces, cripples, trimmers, headers, and fire blocks. It is supported
by the floor system. Prefabricate the members of the frame wall on the floor of the building. Then
raise the members into position and brace, nail, or bolt them in place.
