|
| A structural system consisting of a series of rafter beams supported by columns. Often used as the end frame of a building. |
|
Also referred to as a "Bearing Hot Rolled" endwall. A Bearing End Frame is a structural system consisting of a series of hot rolled rafter beams supported by hot rolled columns connected by a series of pinned connections. A Bearing End Frame is NOT a Main Frame and will not stand alone without some type of additional bracing or diaphragm action. Often used as the end wall framing of a building. See also Beam and Column. |

Regulations established by a recognized agency describing design loads, procedures and construction details for structures usually applying to a designated political jurisdiction (city, county, state, etc.). These standards are required by the local building/construction regulations. Meeting these standards is required to obtain a building permit. The Industry standard Code for Metal Building Design is MBMA (Metal Building Manufacturers Association), and this standard is accepted by many state and city officials. However, determining the required local jobsite standard is the responsibility of the Builder. Additional Information can be obtained from your Building Code Manual. Building Code and edition requirements should be obtained from the local building code official. |
