Gable Unsymmetrical Buildings

Product Description

A ridged (double slope) building in which the ridge is off-center.

Gable: The triangular portion of the endwall from the level of the eave to the ridge of the roof.

Gauge: N/A

Finish: Red Oxide Primer

Usage: Low Rise Construction

Limitations
  • Support Widths from 10’ to 600’ or More
  • Support Height from 10’ to 100’
  • Support Clear Spans up to 250’ or More
  • Support Roof Slopes of 1/4 : 12 up to 12 : 12
Feature
  • Designers have the capability of arranging sidewall columns that are straight or columns with the more economical tapered section.
  • Our plant fabricates all main framing in accordance with the company’s strict AISC quality certification guidelines.
  • Interior support columns available as either pipe sections or H sections.
  • Empire Steel frames come with welded subassemblies. Roof purlin support plates and wall girt support plates are factory welded to the main frames.
  • Purlins are supported laterally by the welded plates.
  • Empire Steel furnishes all structural bolts with a corrosion protective plating.
  • Frames are prefabricated as much as possible.
  • Endwall frames can be simple post and beam type construction, or can be built with a full interior type rigid frame to accommodate future expansion.
Benefit
  • Flexible design providing for maximum utilization of interior space.
  • The benefit of the quality fabrication practice of Empire is the reduction in building assembly labor, and subsequently lower erection cost.
  • Wider buildings are feasible more economically.
  • Saves erection time and increases the overall stiffness of the building.
  • Reduces the amount of purlin roll experienced under heavy loading.
  • Improves the appearance of the building and helps to speed up erection process, and no more rusted bolts to contend with.
  • Eliminates costly field work needed to “customize” the frames for specific building configurations.
  • Endwalls are furnished in a variety of configurations, again with the flexibility to meet any need.
