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: - 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.
- 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.

Who will unload the Prefabricated Steel Building off the truck?
