Olympia Steel Buildings Metal Building Framing Components

PRIMARY FRAMING

The Primary Frames of pre-engineered steel buildingsare the main load-carrying structural steel components of the building. Olympia's

Primary Frame steel buildings components are of three main types: 

• Clearspan Rigid Frames

• Continuous Beam Frames

• Post & Beam Frames  

CLEARSPAN RIGID FRAME solid web steel building framingconsists of rafters rigidly connected to tapered or uniform depth columns. This type of frame provides a clear span with no posts or beams in the interior of the building.

 

CONTINUOUS BEAM FRAME solid web steel building framing also consists of rafters rigidly connected columns. The continuous beam frame design, unlike the clearspan rigid frame design, has interior columns. 

 

POST AND BEAM FRAME steel building framing members are the primary load-carrying members at the endwalls of the building. Full Frame endwall frames can be used in conjunction with endposts when future building expansion is required. 

SECONDARY FRAMING

 

Pre-engineered  steel buildingsSecondary Framing Members are the structural members which carry loads to the primary framing members. They consist of eave members, roof purlins, wind struts, wind bracing, wall girts and other structural framing.

Metal building Purlins are typically Zee shaped; 6“ [160 mm.], 8” [200 mm.] or 10” [250 mm.] in depth and can be designed as simple span or continuous span.

Metal building Girts are normally Zee or Cee shaped; 6” [165 mm.] or 8” [216 mm.] in depth and can be designed as simple span or continuous span.

Olympia Steel Buildings Freestall Dairy Barns

Comfortable cows mean higher milk production. Olympia Steel Buildings freestall dairy barn metal building systems are continuously filled with fresh, outside air providing a healthy and comfortable environment for cows to maintain their productivity throughout the year regardless of hot summer or cold winter weather conditions.

Olympia Steel Buildings freestall dairy barn metal buildings  incorporate an innovative integral moveable side curtain system with dual curtain drive units and galvanized curtain doors, which allow airflow and exposure to the outside elements to be controlled. A manual curtain door drive unit is also available. Olympia's open ridge building ventilation system allows for ample air exchange, venting the large quantities of heat and moisture produced by cows out of the buildings. Other barn systems that may be closed too tightly allow condensation to form on interior surfaces and become damp, conditions which are uncomfortable and unhealthy for cows and can accelerate building deterioration. The bottom line is whether cows are comfortable. . .
