NAVSTAR pre-engineered metal buildings are custom designed to meet your exact requirements. The basic parameters that define a pre-engineered metal building are:
Building width is defined as the distance between the outer side of an eave strut of one side wall to the
outer side of an eave strut of the opposite side wall.
This is defined as the distance between the outside flanges of endwall columns in the opposite
endwalls, and is a combination of several bay lengths.
This is the distance from the outer side of the outer flange of endwall columns to centre line of the first
interior main frame column.
Interior
This is the distance between the centre line of two adjacent interior main frame columns. The most
common bay spacings are 6m, 7.5m and 9m. The bay lengths can go up to 12m.
Building height is the eave height, which is usually the distance from the bottom of the mainframe
column base plate to the top outer point of the eave strut. Eave height can go up to 30m. When columns
are recessed or elevated from finish floor, eave height is the distance from finished floor to the top of the
eave strut.
This is the angle of the roof with respect to the horizontal base. The most common roof slope is 1/10.
However, any practical roof slope is possible.
Unless otherwise specified, NAVSTAR pre-engineered metal buildings are designed for the following
minimum loads:
Design Wind Speed: As per IS:875 for given site location
Design for Seismic loads, collateral loads or any other local conditions must be specified at the time of
quotation.
Loads are applied in accordance with the latest American Codes and Standards applicable to pre
engineered metal buildings unless otherwise requested at the time of quotation
