PEMB - What do FA, FBO and FBI Stresses Stand For?

I am reviewing calcs for a PEMB and am not familiar with the American structural steel code.

Not sure you'll find those abbreviations in the code.
Best guess:
FA: axial stress (or force) units will tell the difference
FBO: bending stress outer flange
FBI: bending stress inner flange

Call whoever did the calcs and ask them directly. It can vary with the metal building company.
