Light gauge steel construction

[Inlander]

A client needs structural analysis for an existing light gauge steel Ag building. The frame is mostly 16 and or 14 ga HSS. The roof and wall sheathing is 26 ga PBR roof panels.

1 - Where can the light gauge HSS design values be found?

2 - If available, where can the shear wall design values for the 26 ga PBR panels be found?

Sounds like you need to get into AISI S-100 and S-240. I've just been learning those myself. Many similarities to AISC, but enough differences to take some time.
