FRAME INFORMATION <br /> <br />The primary force resisting system in a metal building may be composed of moment frames or <br />braced frames. Typically, these frames are designed with pin base assumptions unless <br />otherwise specified by the EOR or required by design. Additional metal building assumptions in <br />frame design include member unbraced lengths being taken between points of purlin/girt <br />flange bracing, roof and wall panel diaphragm capacity being neglected, and moment <br />connections being designed for the maximum moment and corresponding shear that can be <br />transferred to the connection by the system for seismic applications. <br />Frame inputs shown include the design code, occupancy, associated environmental loading, <br />seismic loading, any component loading (e.g., crane, mezzanine, eave ext., etc.), and applicable <br />load combinations. Frame outputs shown include the controlling load combination, associated <br />controlling loads, and unity checks for members and connections, as well as the serviceability, <br />elastic, and story drift deflections. Frame analysis is done through proprietary software to <br />analyze in plane web tapered elements. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 2: Basic Cross-Section of a Clear Span Rigid Frame <br /> <br />143 1901 N Fairview St & Bldg A, B, <br />C, F & 1919 N Fairview St Bldg E <br />4/11/2024
