Design Calculations

Sheet 1 of 12
 Introduction

This Design Calculations Package has been prepared using the latest applicable American
codes and standards and the latest developments in engineering practices. A competent design
engineer prepared the calculations and another competent engineer checked his work.

Computer programs, written in M.S.Excel & STAAD Pro, have been used where applicable to
determine structural requirements. The output of these programs has been incorporated in this
package.

For your easy reference, a table of contents has been provided. The description of the building
designed, design codes and material specifications used, design assumptions, loads and design
sketches are also included in the calculation.

Please use this calculations package in conjunction with the drawings provided. You can
resubmit this package with the drawings to other parties for their approval as required, or, keep
this package for future reference.

Design Codes

The Building described in these calculations was designed according to the latest U.S.A. Buildings and Design
Codes that have been referred to in the design:

The loads as described have been applied on the structure in accordance with :

 MBMA “Metal Buildings Manufacturers Association” Low Rise Building Systems Manual, 2002 Edition.

Built up and hot rolled sections have been designed in accordance with :

 AISC “American Institute of Steel Construction” Manual of Steel Construction - Allowable Stress Design,
1989 Edition.

Cold formed components have been designed in accordance with :

 AISI “American Iron and Steel Institute” Cold Formed Steel Design Manual, 1996 Edition
OR
 NAS North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members 2001
Edition

Welding has been applied in accordance with :

 AWS D1.1/D1.1M:2004 “American Welding Society” Structural Welding Code - Steel Manual, 2004
Edition.

Design Assumptions
 The main frame rafters and exterior columns are rigidly connected to each other (using
moment type connections). The rafters are continuous over the columns.

 The exterior columns are pin connected to the foundations.

 The interior columns are pin connected to both the rafters and the foundations.

 The Building is designed for enclosed condition.

 The lateral stability of the building is provided through the frame action of the main frames.

 The longitudinal stability of the building is provided through the truss action in the cross
braced bays of the building.

 The roof purlins are continuous beams supported at rigid frame locations and span the bay
spacing of the building.

 The roof sheeting provides lateral support for purlins.

Load combinations
 Dead Load + Live Load

 Dead Load + Wind Load
