What Everybody Should Know About Steel Buildings

From first-time builders to the urban planner, when it comes to prefabricated buildings, there are a few key points every non-industry guy and gal should know. What Everybody Ought to Know About Prefabricated Steel Buildings Efficient Fabrication In the golden age of automation, efficiency is key. Due to advanced CAD/CAM processes, fabrication of  steel buildings  produce minimal raw material waste yet still able to meet the strictest strength-to-weight ratios. In fact, steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any material, 25 times greater than wood. A lighter frame translates into a more cost-effective foundation and the ability to add other materials with less concern for the completed building weight.  Shorter Construction Time Steel buildings are designed and pre-built for easy reassembly at the manufacturing plant. Site preparation, such as the preparation and foundation placement, can be completed as the building is being manu...

Anatomy of a Steel Building: First and Secondary Support Systems -Rigid Frames, Purlins & Girts. Rigid Frame(s) Rigid frames are the main support system of a prefabricated metal building and is the most crucial component of the  anatomy of a steel building.  Nothing comes close for both lateral and vertical loads, especially for clear span conditions, then a rigid frame. The base of the rigid frame column is attached to a concrete foundation with anchor bolts. Tip: Check with the steel structure company you are working with for they may not provide anchor bolts. These are usually identified by the project structural engineer. Let’s look at some of the different types of rigid framing systems and standard frame systems profiles. Framing Systems:  (Figure 1A) Rigid Frame (RF) Rigid Frame Multi-Spam (RF-1) Tapered Beam (TB) Single Slope (SS) Single Slope Multi-Span (SS) Lean-to (LT) Standard Frame Profiles: Rigid Frame (RF) Tapered Beam (T...

3 Important Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Pole Barn

We are sometimes asked whether a steel structure or a wood-framed pole barn is the better building system for our customer’s project. The answer, for durability and strength, is obvious from where we sit. However, there may be benefits to choosing a pole barn over a steel structure when it comes time, price, or utility.  Still, we feel it is important to point out aspects of pole barns a consumer should consider before purchasing one. A Brief Origin Story: Pole barns have been a hallmark of America’s rural landscape for the better part of 90 years. Post and beam construction has existed for centuries and was a staple of Colonial America. The building of pole barns got its start in the 1930s and has its roots in the economic impacts of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Pole barns were constructed from old telephone poles, which were available and affordable, earning them the name, “telephone pole barns.” Even after the economy recovered, generations of farmers and ranchers...
