Foundation for Pre Engineered buildings.

Foundation for Pre Engineered buildings.

(OP)
Can anybody direct me to a good foundation design resource for butler buildings? A pdf format will be greately appreciated.

I am mostly inetersted in how to combine the uplift forces in brace and column when brace rod is at the base of a column and will resist in plane wind from the perpendicular direction of the main frame (column and beams).

I am looking at a 90'X120' building with main frame (col and beam) along 120'. The side wall in one or the bays are braced.

RE: Foundation for Pre Engineered buildings.

Check w/ Butler.  They are usually helpful

RE: Foundation for Pre Engineered buildings.

Check this book: "Metal Building Systems Design & Specifications" by Alexander Newman. Not too technical but it helps. In addition, there are many treads about PEMB and their foundations: 100595, 126594, 101604, 152445, 144777..........

Goo luck     

RE: Foundation for Pre Engineered buildings.

"Foundation design and construction manual" 2nd ed, put out by Butler, contact their main office, believe it is still in print.  It is specifically written for prefab metal buildings.
