STEEL STRUCTURE BUILDING

BASIC BUILDING PARAMETER

Building Length:

Building Length is the sum of all bay lengths. For flush end wall, this is measured as the distance between outside flanges of two end wall columns on opposite end walls. For by-pass end walls, it is measured as the distance between outer faces of wall grit along two and walls.

Building Width:

Width of a Building is defined as the distance between the outer sides of two eave struts along two sides of the building.

Building Height:

Height of a building, usually termed as eave height is the height of top outer point of the eave strut from finished floor.

Roof Slope:

This defined as the angle between roofline with the horizontal. Any practical roof slope is possible. Most commonly used roof slope is 1:10 & 1:12.

Interior Bay Length:

This is the distance between the center lines of two adjacent interior rigid frames. Most common interior bay lengths are 6m, 7.5m, 8m, & 9m.

End Bay Length:

This is the distance from the center line of first interior rigid frame to outer flange of the adjacent end column (Flush system) or outside of end wall grit (By / Pass system).
