i am designing a single storey light gauge steel structure with aerated concrete infill (650kg/m3) in walls and both sides of the wall is cement board permanent shuttering, so i have one doubt that if the structure is single storey do i need to take self weight of aerated concrete while designing the LGS studs however there is no proper connection between the wall stud and aerated concrete, i have only doubt does the noggings (horizontal members) which is located after every 1.2m can transfer the load to studs or concrete will transfer his self weigth directly to the foundation??
