The building must include an engineer's certification for earthquake stabilization to comply with Act 1100 of 1991. The certification must be stamped on the submittal plans. B. Vertical Live Loads: 1. Roof covering shall be designed for either 20 psf uniformly distributed load located at the center of maximum roofing (panel) span. The most severe conditions shall govern. 2. Purlins shall be designed for 20 psf uniformly distributed over the roof area which they support. 3. Primary framing (frames) shall be designed for 20 psf uniformly distributed over the roof area which it supports. 4. All the above loads to be in addition to the applicable dead loads and shall be applied to the horizontal projection of the roof. C. Wind Loads: 1. The wind load on the structure shall be 20 psf velocity pressure proportioned and applied as horizontal and up-lift forces according as recommended by the Metal Building Manufacturers Association "Design Practices Manual" of current issue. D. Combination of Loads: 1. The combining of normal loads and auxiliary loads for design purposed shall be as prescribed and recommended by the Metal Building Manufacturers Association "Design Practices Manual" of current issue. E. Certification 1. After the awarding of the contract, complete structural analysis and concrete footer design shall be submitted by the metal building manufacturer to the Engineer. The submittal shall bear the seal of a structural engineer registered in the State of Arkansas. DESCRIPTION OF BUILDING GENERAL A. The pre-engineered metal building covered by this specification is to be a rigid frame structure of steel (frames) rafter beams and columns of clear span. B. Column spacing at the exterior walls shall be 25'. C. The minimum eave height shall be as shown ROOF COVERING AND SUPPORTS GENERAL A. The roof construction shall carry an Underwriters' Laboratories Construction (Uplift) rating of not less than Class 30. ROOF PANELS A. The exposed metal roof covering shall be 26-gauge "PBR" Purlin Bearing "R" Panels to provide the specified load carrying capabilities and deflection requirements of this specification. The panels shall be supplied with a factory (baked on or laminated" color finish to be selected by the Owner. The color finish shall be applied to the exposed surface and shall be of such composition to provide 20 years of film and color life. B. Deflection of the roof panel shall not exceed 1/180 of its span when supporting the applicable vertical live loads previously described. C. Roof panels shall be fastened to the purlins with stainless steel or aluminum weather-sealed type screws, bolts, rivets, or with special clips. D. GUARANTEE 1. Durability of the roof panels due to rupture, structural failure, or perforation shall be guaranteed for a period of 20 years by the building manufacturer. A specimen copy of the document must accompany the shop drawing, clearly stating the conditions under which the guarantee is valid. PURLINS A. The purlin's configuration, thickness and spacing shall be the building manufacturer's standard provided all design criteria, including deflection, is met or exceeded. B. The deflection of the purlin shall not exceed 1/180 of its span when supporting the applicable vertical live loads previously prescribed and any collateral loads required.
