Q: I am wanting to build a metal framed house on the Texas coast it would need to withstand 120 mph winds at 3 sec. gust. All of the builders I have contacted can meet these requirements but none have been able to proved or tell me how to build a pier system to get the house off the ground 10'and still be able meet Texas wind storm requirements. I am in the steel manufactoring bussiness and I feel that by useing steel(galv)columes and beams with a bell holed type slad this could be done but I would need to have it stamped and designed by an engineer where or who sould i contact?
A: RICK : THE LIGHT GAUGE RESIDENTIAL FRAMING MFGRS. CAN GIVE YOU THE COL. REACTIONS AND CODE COMPLIANCE CALCS FOR YOUR LOCAL FOUNDATION ENGRS. TO DESIGN THE FOOTINGS. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DETERMINE EXISTING SOIL CAPACITIES ON YOUR SITE. SUGGEST U CONTACT WEB SITE OF STEEL HOMES INTER'NL www.steelhomes.us--AND CONTACT MODERN TRADE COMMUNICATIONS -- WHO PUBLISH A TRADE MAG. SPECIFICALLY FOR STEEL FRAME HOMES --EMAIL REQUEST FOR COPY TO SHAWNZUVER@MODERN TRADE.COM . FROM: D.V. RED MC-1, ROOF HUGGER, INC.
Q: I bought a 17 year old metal building that was converted into a house. It has some kind of foam sprayed on the outside top of the roof that was to act as insalation. It is worthless and deteriating. I was able to talk my wife into this crazy house/metal building by promissing her that we would ad a new roof with a greater pitch on top of the existing roof. Once this happens we intend to make the existing roof our ceiling. Do you have any contacts in the San Antonio, New Branfells, Boerne (Texas) areas that will be able to do this and do you have any advise when searching for a contractor for this type of challenge.
A: Darryl, I would call one of the following: Alice Roofing and Sheet Metal, San Antonio, (210) 661-5211 AEP Span, 800-527-2503 and maybe Horizon Structural Systems, (830) 629-8000 (I have not heard from Horizon in several years so I'm not sure they are still around) Let us know if you need any more info. Thanks for your question. Dale Roof Hugger, Inc.
Q: A customer of ours has an existing pre-engineered steel building in Port Arthur, TX. The building was constructed in 1985 wherein a full height steel stud wall with (2) layers of 5/8" thick type "X" gypsum board was applied to both sides up to the underside of the roof deck. This type of construction carried a 3 hour fire rateing without a roof penetrating parapet in Wisconsin. We are trying to determine if Texas code allows the above construction to qualify as a 3 hour occupancy seperation without the need for a parapet. Thanks in advance for your help with this matter. Respectfully Requested by, Ludwig G. Habada President, Habada Corp
A: Ludwig, I don't know the details of the Texas codes and only a local engineer can help you with that however this website may be of help to you. http://www.nationalgypsum.com/resources/firesound/goldj.pdf It will give you the properties of various assemblies from the national gypsum assoc. Good luck Dale Roof Hugger, Inc.
Q: I am considering purchasing a used equestrian metal building, 120' x 250' in Lucas, Texas and relocating it to Abilene, Texas. I have been told that only the frame can be used because the existing screw holes in the siding and roof will never align with the holes in the frame.. therefore I will have to purchase new siding and roofing. Is this true? If I cannot locate the original plans is there a way to get new plans for the permit? How much should I budget for the demolition, shipping, and erection in Abilene? How do I locate someone who is capable of disassembling the building and moving it…? Thanks for your assistance! Del
A: Del, Move slowly on this adventure. I have seen where it costs more to move and re-erect an existing building than it does to build a new one. Remember you must remove all the sheeting, not so bad on the walls, but the roof is a real problem due to the mastic in the side and end laps of the sheeting. Often the walls can be reused if they are not too faded or banged up but never the roof. You must then disassemble and tag the building structure and sub-structure. Often in equestrian usage there is considerable corrosion in the lower areas of the columns, girts and sheeting unless the building was carefully maintained. To relocate this building you will need to load it on 2 or 3 flatbeds, and haul it about 200 miles. You will ...
