Red Steel Primary Framing
Consisting of columns for sidewalls and rafters for roof.
Solid I-Beam
Constructed for optimum strength
- Material used is 50ksi yield strength.
- By using a higher yield strength material, a smaller web can be utilized which provides a space saving design for you and your customers.
- Frames are single bead, continuous submerged arc welded using automatic welding machines to help insure quality control. A factory coating is then applied to protect frames during the erection process.
Endwall Frames and Columns are either cold formed, mill-roll or build-up "I" section depending on design requirements.
Secondary Framing
Girts (in sidewall) and Purlins (in roof) are 6.5 inch or 9 inch to meet design requirements.
- Cold rolled Z-section. 13 to 16 gauge ASTM A-570, 55ksi yield material is used to provide maximum strength.
- By-pass girt system overlaps at sidewall columns forming a continuous "beam" for extra strength.
Purlins are top-mounted on the rafter with a varied lap of 2-feet to 6-feet for strength and cost savings in erection labor. Maximum purlin spacing is 5-foot on center.
Eave Strut is a cold formed C-section that is rolled for the appropriate roof pitch to help insure weather tightness at the eave.
Sheeting Angle is a continuous galvanized angle supplied for the attachment of the sheeting at the rake of the building for ease of installation.
Base Angle is a continuous galvanized angle, supplied for the attachment of the sheeting at the rake of the building for ease of installations.
Bracing
- Diagonal galvanized cable or rod bracing is supplied for roof and walls to remove longitudinal load from the structure. Portal frames are utilized when X-bracing cannot be used.
- Angle Flange Bracing is provided for the connection of the rigid frame to the purlins and girts. This makes sure that allowable compressions are adequate for any combination of loadings.
- Galvanized purlin bridging angles are provided at each mid-bay to assue consistent purlin spacing and stiffening.
Framed Openings have cold-formed 8 inch or 9 inc C-section jambs and headers to help insure easy installation of overhead doors, etc.
Sheeting
80KSI yield material standard. Some Manufacturers use a lower yield strength material which is less resistant to damage from hail or other impacts.
Sheeting Coil Steel, AZ-50, AZ55 Galvalume or a G-90 class galvanization (1.25ox, hot dipped) on each side to help prevent deterioration of the steel sheeting
Deeper High-Rib with more frequent corrugation provides extra strength. Purlin Bearing Leg provides secure lap condition.
Siphon Groove is rolled into all High-Rib roof sheeting to provide a built-in "gutter" system every 36 inches for the entire length of the building, helping to prevent water from migrating into the roof system.
Optional Architectural Panel, "Shadow Line" configuration is available for walls, mansard systems, soft fit material, etc. to add an aesthetic appeal to your building. Other optional panels provided upon request: standing seam, rockweld TS-324 in standard 24-gauge or optional 22-gauge Galvalume stand or colors optional.
Fasteners
Structural Bolts meet requirements of ASTM Standards.
- A-325 for primary frame connections
- A-307 for secondary framing
Self-Drilling and Self tappign fasteners are integral head with EPDM washers to help ensure weather tightness.
Closures
Cross Linked Polyethylene foam closures with self-adhesive backing used to help seal building.
- Located at eave, gable and base of building to help provide weather tightness.
- Pre-formed shapes to match panel configuration providing a tighter seal.
1.5 inch sheeting notch at base of concrete where panel sits is designed into every building. Sheeting notch provides an air-infiltration stop on blanket insulated building.
Sealants
Sealant for roof sidelaps, endlaps, and flashing at gable is provided to help insure weather tightness.
- Nominal 3/8 x 1/8 inch thick pressure sensitive tape sealans for ease of installation.
Ridge Cap
Performed High-Rib Ridge Cap panel matches the slope and profile of adjoining roof panels to help insure constant alignment and weather tightness.
Long overlap to help prevent from siphoning into building
- Ridge cap panels have anti-capillary flute (siphon groove) to match roof panel. (Same as roof sheeting).
Trim and Flashing
All buildings are fully trimmed at rake (gable), corners and eaves with standard trim material for a more finished look. This not only improves the look of the building but is an additional deterrent to moisture, insects and dirt from getting into building.
Red Steel Plans and Drawings
Anchor Bold setting plan, building reactions for foundation design, Erection Manual and Engineer Letter of Certification are provided shortly after receipt of deposit for building.
General Building Manual and erection drawings provide step-by-step instructions for ease of assembly by dealer or customers.
Engineering Certified Erection Drawings, include wall and roof framing diagrams, cross sections, sheeting and flashing details are provided. These drawings show clearly the proper erection and assembly of all building components.
All Parts are Numbered. A part number is placed on each component (except sheeting screws and other small parts). These part numbers coincide with a detailed listing contained in the construction drawings and shipping list to help with the easy assembly of the building system. |
