|
The line along the sidewall formed by the intersection of the planes of the roof and wall. |
|
A light gauge metal member at an eave, valley or parapet designed to carry water from the roof to downspouts or drains. See also Gutter. |
|
The vertical dimension from the bottom of the base plate of the main frame column to the top of the eave strut. |
|
A structural member located at the eave of a building which supports roof and wall paneling. |
A structural member located at the eave of a building which supports roof and wall paneling. |
|
The surface area of a building at the edges of the roof and at the wall intersections where the wind loads on components and cladding are greater than at other areas of the building. |
|
The area used to determine the wind coefficient. The effective wind area may be greater than or equal to the tributary area. |
|
A design concept utilizing the proportional behavior of materials when all stresses are limited to specified allowable values in the elastic range. |
|
A crane in which the bridge, hoist or trolley is operated by electric power. |
|
An electrically-operated machine for lifting, lowering and transporting loads, consisting of a movable bridge carrying a fixed or movable hoisting mechanism and traveling on an overhead runway structure. |
|
The minimum horizontal distance, parallel to the runway, between the outermost extremities of the crane and the centerline of the hook. |
|
The bays adjacent to the endwalls of a building. Usually the distance from the endwall to the first interior main frame measured normal to the endwall. |
|
A frame located at the endwall of a building which supports the loads from a portion of the end bay. |
|
A vertical member located at the endwall of a building which supports the girts. In beam and column end frames, endwall columns also support the beam. See also End Wall Column. |
|
A device attached to a crane runway or rail to provide a safety stop at the end of a runway. |
|
The unit consisting of truck frame, wheels, bearings, axles, etc., which supports the bridge girders. |
|
An exterior wall which is parallel to the interior main frame of the building. |
|
A vertical member located at the endwall of a building which supports the girts. In beam and column end frames, endwall columns also support the beam. Sometimes referred to as End Post. |
|
The projection of the roof beyond the plane of the endwall. |
|
The surface area of a building along the roof at the endwall and at the corners of walls. |
|
The engineer or architect who is responsible for the overall design of the building project. The manufacturer's engineer is typically not the Engineer of Record. |
|
The on-site assembling of fabricated Metal Building System components to form a completed structure. |
|
Materials used by erectors to stabilize the building system during erection. |
|
Roof and wall erection (framing) drawings that identify individual components and accessories furnished by the manufacturer in sufficient detail to permit proper erection of the Metal Building System. |
|
A party who assembles or erects a Metal Building System. |
|
A break or space in construction to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the materials used in the structure. |
|
A wall framing system where the girts are mounted on the outside of the building columns. Also known as Bypass Girt. |
