Standard
Features
Primary Framing
Solid I-Beam
Frames
- single bead; continuous submerged arc welded by automatic
welding machines. By using a higher yield strength material, a
smaller web can be utilized which means a space saving design.
A factory primer coat is applied to help protect them during the
erection process.
Endwall Frames and Columns
-
either cold-formed, mill-rolled or built-up “I”
sections depending on design requirements.
Secondary Framing
Purlins
(in roof) - top mounted on the rafter with a varied lap of 2’ to 6’
for strength and cost savings in erection labor. Maximum purlin
spacing is 5’ on center.
Girts
(in sidewall) - 8” or 10” to meet design requirements.
Cold rolled Z-section, 13 to 16 gauge ASTM A-570, 50,000 psi
yield material is used to provide maximum strength. Bypass girt
system overlaps at sidewall columns forming a continuous “beam”
for extra strength.
Bracing
-
diagonal rod or cable bracing may be supplied for
roof and walls to remove longitudinal load from the structure as
needed.
Eave Strut
- cold formed C-section that is rolled for the appropriate roof
pitch, to help insure weather tightness at the eave
Sheeting Angle
- a continuous sheeting angle supplied for attachment of the
sheeting, at the rake of the building, for ease of installation.
Base Angle
- a continuous angle, supplied for the attachment of the base of
the sheeting to the concrete. It is attached to the concrete
with ram sets or equivalent anchors.
Sheeting
-
All coil steel
with galvalume coating standard 1.25oz hot-dipped on each
side.
-
80,000 psi yield material is standard for every building.
-
Deeper, high-rib sheeting
with more
frequent corrugations provides extra strength.
-
Purlin bearing rib
provides a better weather tight seal between roof sheets.
Ridge Cap
Pre-formed High Rib Ridge Cap Panel
- matches the slope and profile of adjoining roof
panels to help insure constant alignment and weather tightness.
Long Overlap
- provided to help prevent water from siphoning into the
building.
Fasteners
Structural Bolts
– meet all requirements of ASTM standards.
Self-drilling and Self-tapping Fasteners
- pre-assembled with neoprene washers and metal caps to help
insure weather tightness.
Closures
and Sealants
Closed Cell Neoprene Strips or Plugs
- with self-adhesive backing; used to help seal buildings.
Sealant
- roof side laps, end laps and flashing at gable to help insure
weather tightness.
Trim
Trimming
– gable corners and eaves with standard trim material for a
finished look.
Plans
and Drawings
Engineer Certified Blueprints
- wall and roof framing diagrams, cross sections, sheeting and
flashing details are provided with a letter from a certified
engineer.
General Erection Manual
- provides step-by-step instructions for easy assembly.
Part Numbers and Components
-
part numbers coincide with a detailed listing contained in the
construction drawings and shipping list to help with assembly of
the building. Anchor bolt plans and building reactions for
foundation design are provided. |
