What about Prefabricated Steel Building codes and loads?

Premier can design its Prefabricated Steel Buildings for any required codes. We provide drawings stamped and certified by a registered engineer. Some Prefabricated Steel Building departments require non stamped, certified drawings, in which case Premier Steel will engineer your Prefabricated Steel Building using roof and wind loads from historical data compiled for your county. Please call your local building department for your Live load, Wind load, Exposure, Seismic and Design code requirements.

DEFINITIONS:

  • Roof Load: Any temporary load imposed on a Prefabricated Steel Building that is not wind load, snow load, seismic load or dead load. A few examples of a roof load are workers, equipment, and materials.
  • Wind Load: The forces imposed by the wind blowing from any direction.
  • Exposure: How exposed the Prefabricated Steel Building is to wind.
  • Seismic Load: The load or loads acting in any direction on a structural system due to the action of an earth quake.
  • Design Codes (examples): Uniform Building Code (UBC) compiled by the International Conference of Building Officials. (ICBO). It is prominent in the West Coast and in some areas of the Midwest and South.

Boca Basic Building Code (Boca): is primarily used east of the Mississippi and north of Tennessee.
Standard Building Code(SBC): covers most of the Gulf Coast states and other Southern areas.

There are many other codes, but these are the major ones. Over the past several years, the three national model building code bodies: SBCCI, BOCA and ICBO have been working together to produce a single code to be used throughout the United States. The result of their labor is the International Building Code that was published in 2000 as the IBC2003.

What type of foundation is needed for a pre-engineered steel building?

The type of foundation depends upon the geographical location of the pre-engineered steel building, topography of land, frame loads imposed on foundation, local building code restrictions and architectural considerations. In rural areas, non-certified applications, there are general guidelines for a solid foundation that can be applied to most buildings. Generally, there are two types of foundations used with metal building systems:

  1. Floating slabs: Floating slabs consist of a concrete slab, monolithically poured with a continuous grade beam. The grade beam is either spread directly under the column or reinforced along the bottom to carry the vertical column loads.
  2. Pier, Footing, and Grade Beam: Pier, Footing, and Grade Beam consist of a square or rectangular footing and a grade beam wall. A drilled pier may be utilized in lieu of the square or rectangular footing. Piers and footings carry most of the vertical loads. We'll send your anchor bolt plans two weeks after we receive your pre-engineered steel building order.

What will freight cost?

The cost will depend on the load weight and the shipping distance. Premier often applies community-shipping rates (combining loads to reduce the freight cost). All quotes will have shipping included.
