The magnitude and application of all design loads shall conform to the building code having jurisdiction over the area in which the site is located. When no particular building code has jurisdiction, loading shall be applied in accordance with the current revision of the IBC.
METAL BUILDING DESIGN LOADS
Definitions of Loads
- Dead load is the weight of all permanent construction, such as floor, roof, framing, and covering members.
- Collateral load is additional dead load because of mechanical and electrical systems.
- Live load means all loads created by movable objects and loads temporarily supported by the structure.
- Earthquake load is the assumed lateral load acting in any horizontal direction on the structural system as a result of the action of earthquakes.
- Wind load is the load caused by the wind blowing from any horizontal direction.
- Auxiliary loads are all specified dynamic live loads other than the basic design loads that the building must safely withstand, such as cranes, material handling systems, and impact loads.
- Snow load is the roof loading caused by the accumulation of snow.
- Floor live load is the load induced on the floor system by the use and occupancy of the building.
Job Specific Loads
Company will furnish job specific design loads to the supplier. The information will be shown on the contract drawings in a form as established in following Table, Design Criteria and Crane Data.
Foundation Design and Installation
Company will provide all foundation design and foundation installation and will provide anchor bolts for the primary frame and wind columns only. All other anchors will be furnished and installed by the building supplier or building erector.
