Test Standard for Determining the Strength and Deformation Behavior of Hold-Downs Attached to Cold-Formed Steel Structural Framing
This standard provides two methods to determine both the strength and deformation behavior of hold-downs used in cold-formed steel light-frame construction. One of the test methods is to determine the strength and deformation behavior of the hold-down device and the other test method is to determine the strength and deformation behavior of the hold-down assembly.
