Abstract
A metal building stud having at least one supplemental flange extending from at least one slot in the stud web yielding a stud with increased strength, both compressive (longitudinally) and in shear (transverse). The slotted web presents a reduced web area through which heat or sound may be conducted and slots in which insulation is received, both increasing resistance to heat and sound transfer. Slots and supplemental flanges may also be provided in the stud primary flanges.
