1.5 ABREVIATIONS, INTERPRETATION AND DEFINITIONS
1.5.1 Building definition
Pre-Engineering Building: consists of Primary steel framing, Secondary steel

members, Roof, Wall panel, Accessories and trim.
Primary Steel Framing consists of Main Rigid portal frame and End wall frame.
Main Rigid Portal Frame is the steel framing with tapered columns and rafter
stabilized by framing action in one direction and by bracing in the other direction.
Unless noted otherwise, these frames have pinned connections to column bases in
order to avoid transmitting moments to ground floor and to foundation.
End-wall Frame is the steel framing at the end of building not only to support the
loading in the frame direction but also to transfer the lateral wind load on the end
bay to the ground floor and roof by end wall columns.
Secondary steel members consist of purlin, girt, eave struts, bracings, sag rods,
flange braces, base & gable angles.
Sag rods, used to brace purlins and girts in bays longer than 8500 mm or in buildings
with slopes larger than 2.5 to 10, are 12 mm or 16 mm solid threaded, round steel
bars.
Flange Braces are 4 or 5mm thick angle sections to stabilize the inner flanges of
main frame columns and rafters from twisting or buckling laterally under load. They
are used on one side or both sides of the rafters/ columns depending on the
magnitude of the required restraining loads.
Base Angles are fastened to the concrete floor with the masonry nails at 500mm on
centers. They transfer the wind load from the wall panels directly to the slab. When
interior wall liner is required, a base channel (C-Section) is used in lieu of a base
angle.
Gable Angles are connected to bottom flanges of roof purlins at building ends using
self-drilling fasteners. They transfer the wind load from the end wall panels (which
are fastened to this gable angle) to the roof purlins, at the gable end of the building.
Accessories and trim are
Contour eave trim with preformed rubber weather seals.
- Contour gable trim.
- Gutters and downspouts.
- Fascia and soffit trim.
- Preformed corner closures.

Project name
- Preformed closures to fill panel corrugations prior to installation of eave and

gable trim.
- Door, window, and other openings sub-framing and trim.
- Other trim and accessories necessary for a neat and finished structure.
- Prefabricated roof flashings around mechanical pipes and flues.
1.5.2 Basic terms
Building Width: is the distance between the steel lines of opposite sidewalls.
Building width does not include the width of Lean-To building or roof extensions.
Building Length: is the distance between the steel lines of opposite endwalls.
Building length is a combination of several bay lengths.
Clear Height: the vertical dimension from the finished floor level to the lowest
underside point of the rafter.
Built-up Section: a structural member, usually an “I” shape, made from individual
flat plates welded together.
Hot Rolled Shapes: Steel sections (angles, channels, I-sections, etc.) which are
formed, while in a semi-molten state at the steel mill, into a shape having standard
dimensions and properties specified by relevant standard specifications.
Sidewall Steel Line: is the plane of the inside vertical surface of the sidewall
sheeting. It is also the plane of the outside vertical surface of the eave strut.
Endwall Steel Line: is the plane of the inside vertical surface of the endwall
sheeting. It is also the plane of the outside vertical surface of the outer flange of the
endwall girts.
End Bay Length: is the distance from the outside of the outer flange of endwall
columns to the center line of the first interior frame.
Interior Bay Length: is the distance between the center lines of two adjacent
interior rigid frame columns.
Jack Beam: A primary horizontal member used to support another beam, truss or
rafter.

past the end wall rafters.
Standard widths for roof extensions range from 900 mm to 1500 mm. Wider roof
extensions can be used but may require heavier or additional framing.
Soffit panels for roof extensions are optional and must be done in accordance with
the design.
Main building eave gutters are normally relocated to the edge of the roof
extensions. Gutter drainage is achieved by downspouts located at the building
sidewalls.

purlins supporting the canopy roof panels.
Optional canopy soffits conceal only the canopy purlins, leaving rafters exposed,
unless otherwise specified.
Unless otherwise specified, the roof panels of the canopies shall match the colour
and profile of the main building roof panels.
The width of a canopy depends on the size of the sidewall columns or end wall
posts supporting it. Practical widths range from 1500 mm to 3000 mm. Wider

workmanship do not conform to the specification requirements, the Government
reserves the right to reject material or workmanship or both at any time before
final acceptance of the structure containing the weldment.
3.9.2 Destructive Tests
When metallographic specimens are removed from any part of structure, the
Contractor shall make repairs. The Contractor shall employ qualified welders or
welding operators, and shall use the proper joints and welding procedures,
including peening or heat treatment if required, to develop the full strength of the
members and joints cut and to relieve residual stress.
3.9.3 Government Inspection and testing
In addition to the inspection and tests performed by the Contractor for quality
control, the Government will perform inspection and testing for acceptance to the
extent determined by the Contracting Officer. The costs of such inspection and
testing will be borne by the Contractor if unsatisfactory welds are discovered, or
by the Government if the welds are satisfactory. The work may be performed by
the Government’s own forces or under a separate contract of inspection and
testing. The Government reserves the right to perform supplemental
nondestructive and destructive tests to determine compliance with paragraph
3.4.11 Dimensional Tolerance.

weathering, metal building system will be without damage or deterioration at time
of Substantial Completion.
For main columns and beams, a plastic protection is requested. The protection
shall be reinforced 1000mm high from the floor at least ensuring the protection of
the column and the base plate. Remain area of beams and columns to be
protected and covered until completion or Construction Manager Instruction.

repaired using a qualified welder or welding operator as applicable. Corrections
shall be in accordance with the requirements of AWS and the specifications.
Defects shall be repaired in accordance with the approved procedures. Defects
discovered between passes shall be repaired before additional weld material is
deposited. Wherever a defect is removed and repair by welding is not required,
the affected area shall be blended into the surrounding surface to eliminate sharp
notches, crevices, or corners. After a defect is thought to have been removed, and
before re-welding, the area shall be examined by suitable methods to insure that
the defect has been eliminated. Repair welds shall meet the inspection
requirements for the original welds. Any indication of a defect shall be regarded as
a defect, unless revaluation by nondestructive methods or by surface conditioning
shows that no unacceptable defect is present.
3.10.3 House Keeping
The location of site storage for PEB elements shall be done according to
Construction Manager’s approval and instruction and in line with the House
keeping plan of the site if existing.
All structural and non-structural items shall not be stored directly on the floor, soil
or other. A clear and free space of 100mm is required in so as to prevent any
damage during lifting, storing and other operation.
3.10.4 Cleaning
Touchup Painting: Immediately after erection, clean field welds, bolted

connections, and abraded areas of shop paint. Apply paint to exposed areas using
same material as used for shop painting.
