Load-Bearing Walls
Many one-story buildings consist of cold-formed steel load-bearing walls supporting roof trusses or rafters. Multi-story buildings with floors made of metal deck slabs, hollo-core plank or joists can also be
supported on load-bearing cold-formed steel wall studs. Structural Evolution designs wall studs, opening framing and shear walls made from either flat strap x-bracing or structural board.
Trusses
Site constructed cold-formed steel trusses are often used for small projects. Structural Evolution provides engineering for a complete truss system. Lay-out drawings show the position of each truss.
Detail drawings for each truss show members, connections, lengths, and end-cuts. Installation details
show truss anchorage, member bracing and overall truss system bracing.

Interior Walls
Some buildings such as factories and theaters include very tall interior walls or other large interior features. Sometimes the architect for a project may require that all framing be engineered. Structural Evolution can provide framing drawings for interior walls, wall openings, shaft wall, soffits, suspended ceilings, and other features requiring engineering.

ABOUT
Structural Evolution is a structural engineering firm specializing in the design of cold-formed steel framing. Our team of detailers and engineers prepares engineered framing drawings for all types of cold-formed steel framing structures. Contractors rely on us to prepare drawings and designs that are well-engineered, easy to read, and easy to construct. Structural Evolution, as an independent engineer, will tailor your framing system to make the best use of your preferred framing supplier, clip source, and tools.
Our engineers consider themselves to be an extension of the framing contractors’ team and work hard to resolve and problems quickly and economically.
Structural Evolution was founded in 2010 and is based in Peachtree City Georgia.
John Lyons, PE, SE, is the Principal Structural Engineer with Structural Evolution. John started his engineering career by serving in the technical services department of a leading cold-formed steel manufacturer. He later went on to become a partner with a national structural engineering firm, in which one of his many roles was serving as their in-house resource for cold-formed steel framing projects. John has been a long-time member of the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) and previously served as a national board member. He has authored several technical notes on cold-formed steel design and has given presentations on the subject to groups of engineers, contractors, and building officials.
