Frame Types

Lean To (LT)

  • AaLT buildings are ideal for use as office structures attached to larger WRF or CB buildings.
  • LT framing is an economical solution for expanding existing buildings.
  • Simple span frame design provides minimal horizontal thrust so foundation costs are minimized.



Single Slope WeldedRigid Frame

  • BbSSRF buildings are ideal where drainage restrictions are an issue, such as strip shopping centers.
  • SSRF buildings are available with options such as straight columns and/or interior columns.




Welded Rigid Frame (WRF)

  • CcWRF buildings provide maximum floor space Straight sidewalls allow interior finishes to be installed easily.
  • WRF design minimizes the horizontal frame base reaction so less expensive foundations may be used




Welded Tapered Beam (WTB)

  • DdWTB buildings provide for the widest possible spans without interior columns. Economical due to the use of tapered members.
  • WTB buildings are ideal where maximum available clearances are required in the center of the building.



Column and Beam (CB)

  • EeCB frames are ideal when wide buildings are required and interior columns are required.
  • CB frames may be used with bar joist roof purlins when large column free areas are permitted. Interior columns may be recessed for a clean appearance.
