Steel building manufacturers make a
variety of framing types. If you’re in the
market for a steel frame, you’ll want to choose
the type that best for your project.
Suppliers can show you the types of framing
available and you can also learn about the
different types by exploring on the Internet.
Before choosing a steel building system, you
must clearly determine your requirements. A
multi-span rigid frame, for example, is needed
for a large steel building with interior
columns, or partitions, where you want to keep
the same basic interior layout permanently.
Having interior columns will lower the cost of
such a building drastically. If you’re going to
construct a building with a wide open span and
no interior columns, you should consider a clear
span. Smaller buildings have the requirements of
tapered beams or lean-to’s.
Choosing the right steel building frame is
essential. It can be the most important factor
in the success of your construction project. You
must give sufficient thought to deciding on the
type of frame that is most suited to your needs.
For example, a manufacturing company or office
complex may be able to tolerate interior
columns, but a gymnasium may not.
Example Project
Imagine that you are building a new gym that is
40'W x 155'L with the roof pitch at 4:12. The
roof has to resist a 20 psf snow load. You want
the side walls to be at least 12'H. What is the
framing solution? A clear-span, rigid-frame
steel building would be the right choice because
interior columns would not be appropriate. A
50-foot span is within the maximum range for a
clear-span system. This system is expandable and
flexible enough to accommodate the gym.
Most projects require either a single-span or
multi-span rigid frame. If you need a small
structure for storage or as an add-on, you might
be able to save money by choosing another type
of frame. Be sure to know your requirements and
do your homework first to find the best framing
solution for your needs.
