The exterior metal roof and wall paneling of a Metal Building System. Sometimes also referred to as Cladding. |
|
| A notch or block out formed along the outside edge of the floor slab to provide support for the wall panels and serve as a closure along their bottom edge. |
|
A standing seam panel which has vertical sides and has no space between the panels at the side laps. |
|
That portion of the vertical wall of a building which extends above the roof line. |
|
|
The uppermost point of a gable. |
|
A sign attached to the peak of the building at the endwall showing the building supplier. |
|
Crane operated from a pendant control unit suspended from the crane. |
|
A door used by personnel for access to and exit from a building. See Steel Walk Doors. |
|
A number given to each separate part of the building for erection identification. Also called mark number and part number. |
|
A concrete structure designed to transfer vertical load from the base of the column to the footing. |
|
A sheet metal section designed to direct the flow of water out through the face of the gutter rather than through a downspout. |
|
A reinforced or enlarged portion of a masonry wall to provide support for roof loads or lateral loads on the wall. |
|
A column base that is designed to resist horizontal and vertical movement, but not rotation. |
|
A connection designed to transfer axial and shear forces between connecting members, but not moments. |
|
The peak height of a gabled building divided by its overall span. |
|
A design concept based on multiplying the actual loads by a suitable load factor, and using the yield stress as the maximum stress in any member, and taking into consideration moment redistribution. |
|
Translucent Light Panels. |
|
1) The gathering of water at low or irregular areas on a roof. 2) Progressive accumulation of water from deflection due to rain loads. |
|
See Blind Rivet. |
|
Openings in buildings which allow air to enter during a wind storm. |
|
A rigid frame so designed that it offers rigidity and stability in its plane. It is generally used to resist longitudinal loads where other bracing methods are not permitted. |
|
A main member used in a vertical position on a building to transfer loads from main roof beams, trusses, or rafters to the foundation. Also referred to as a Column. |
|
A structural system consisting of a series of rafter beams supported by columns. Often used as the end frame of a building. See also Beam and Column. |
|
A method of pre-stressing reinforced concrete in which tendons are tensioned after the concrete has reached a specific strength. |
|
A device for fastening items by the utilization of a patented device which uses an explosive charge or compressed air to embed the pin in the concrete or steel. |
|
A method of pre-stressing reinforced concrete in which the tendons are tensioned before the concrete has been placed. |
|
Coil of metal which has received a paint coating. |
|
A machine used in cold-forming metal sheet or strip into desired sections. |
|
Concrete in which internal stresses of such magnitude and distribution are introduced that the tensile stresses resulting from the service loads are counteracted to a desired degree; in reinforced concrete the prestress is commonly introduced by tensioning the tendons. |
|
An assemblage of rafters and columns that support the secondary framing members and transfer loads directly to the foundation. This is also referred to as a Main Frame or Bent. |
|
A beam with uniform cross section. |
|
A building or space where 300 or more persons may congregate in one area. |
|
A horizontal structural member which supports roof covering. |
