The basic
parameters that define a pre-engineered buildings are:
Building Width
:
No matter what primary framing system is used,
the building width is defined as the distance from outside of eave strut of one sidewall
to outside of eave strut of the opposite sidewall. Building width does
not include the width of Lean-To buildings or roof extensions.
Building
Length:
The distance between the outside flanges of
endwall columns in opposite endwalls is the building length. It is a combination of
several bay lengths.
Building
Height:
Building height is the eave height which
usually is the distance from the bottom of the main frame column base plate to the top
outer point of the eave strut. When
columns are recessed or elevated from finished floor, eave height is the distance from
finished floor level to top of eave strut.
Roof
Slope (x/10):
This is the angle of the roof with respect to
the horizontal. The most common roof slopes are 0.5/10 and 1/10. Any practical
roof slope is possible.
End
bay length:
The distance from outside of the outer flange
of endwall columns to center line of the first interior frame column.
Interior bay length
:
The distance between the center lines of two adjacent
interior main frame columns. The most common bay lengths are 6 m, 7.5
m and 9 m.
Design
Loads:
Unless otherwise specified Zamil Steel
pre-engineered buildings are designed for the following minimum loads:
Roof Live Load: 0.57 kN/m2
Design Wind Speed: 110 km/h
Design for snow loads, earth quake loads,
collateral loads, crane loads or any other loading condition, if required must be specified at
the time of request for quotation.
Loads are applied in accordance with the
latest American codes and standards applicable to pre-engineered buildings unless
otherwise requested at the time of request for quotation.
