We are designing a multi-family residential structure using floor sheathing over cold-formed steel joists. The sheathing will be screwed to the joists. When we use wood joists, we require the sheathing to be glued and nailed to the joists. Can floor sheathing be glued to cold-formed steel joists? If so, what kind of glue should we specify?

I think the glue does it... never encountered a problem with glue and nails... and any demolition the failure is invariably with tearing wood from the joist... I've never encountered a failure through the glue joint.
