2.2 MATERIALS
Specifier: Retain and modify the following section when project has domestic content requirements, which
would be all federal government work and most state government work. Also note that there was a
significant change in how ferrous products apply made to the Buy American Act by the American
Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009. Specifically, many of the cost limitations and exceptions
provided to foreign materials processed in America in the original act were disallowed for ferrous
products, requiring them to be 100% domestic steel.
A. Buy American Act/American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) requirements: Provide
materials in compliance with the following requirements:
1. Buy American Act of 1933 BAA-41 U.S.C 10a 10d for non-ferrous products.
2. Buy American provisions of Section 1605 of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), for ferrous products.
B. Primary Framing Steel:
Specifier: Recycled content is required for some sustainable building programs and standards. Retain as
necessary here and elsewhere. Primary framing recycled content is based on the Steel Recycling
Institute (SRI) data for Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) method. Secondary framing and panel recycled
content is based on SRI data for Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) method.

1. Purlins, girts, and eave struts: ASTM A 1011 Grade 55 (380), or ASTM A 653, Grade
55 (380).
Specifier: Gauge is an insufficient way to specify thickness for cold-formed steel coil material due to
outdated standards which have built-in tolerances greater than current coil steel manufacturing
technology requires. However, much of the construction industry continues to specify thickness by gauge
alone, which opens up possible gamesmanship in material thickness specification by allowing
manufacturers to intentionally use tolerances to reduce supplied minimum thickness. In order to ensure
the material provided meets the intended specification, it is recommended that the gauge designations be
used only as descriptors that reference a minimum uncoated decimal thickness defined explicitly in a
common area of the specification as shown below. Specifying material by gauge alone will default to
outdated standards being used to provide a minimum or nominal thickness.

Specifier: When specifying insulated panels, it is generally advisable to specify a maximum U-factor on
the basis of the prescriptive requirements of the applicable energy code and have the contractor
coordinate with other disciplines once the supplier is selected and thickness is determined. Alternatively,
thickness can be specified below and then have the contractor verify code compliance via a trade-off
calculation using acceptable compliance software such as ComCheck
(http://www.energycodes.gov/comcheck) once the supplier is selected as the U-factor will not match
ASHRAE requirements exactly in this case. It is not recommended to specify insulation R-value since
there is no nationally recognized standard for determining the R-value of IMPs and not all
manufacturers report equivalent R-values due to different handling of the effects of joints, air films,
temperature differentials, etc. Determination of U-factor of generic assemblies is addressed in Appendix
A of ASHRAE 90.1 and this generally leads to comparable numbers between manufacturers. Retain item
d or e below as appropriate here and similarly below.

2.8 FABRICATION
A. General:
1. Shop-fabricate framing members for field bolted assembly.

2. Surfaces of bolted connections: Smooth and free from burrs and distortions.
3. Shop connections to conform to manufacturer's standard design practices.
4. Mark framing members with identifying mark.
5. Welding to conform to AWS D1.1 and AWS D1.3 as applicable.
B. Primary Framing:
1. Plates, stiffeners, and related members: Factory welded base plates, splice plates,
cap plates, and stiffeners into place on structural members.
2. Bolt holes and related machining: Shop fabricate base plates, splices and flanges to
include bolt connection holes. Shop-fabricate webs to include bracing holes.
3. Secondary structural connections (purlins and girts): Ordinary (not pretensioned)
bolted connections with welded clips.
4. Welding inspection: Per IAS AC472 Part A.
5. Non-destructive testing: Not required.
C. Long Bay Purlins:
1. Fabricate purlins from cold-formed open web long bay system assemblies with
stiffened chords.
2. Install connection bolts through purlin seats.
3. Pre-punch assemblies to allow for attachment of frame flange brace angles,
compression strut extensions, and diagonal X-bridging at centerline.
4. Furnish bridging as light-gauge cold-formed angles secured using self-drilling
fasteners.
5. Manufacture sections in IAS AC472 Part A and B Accredited facility.
6. Top and bottom chords: Nominal 4 inch (102 mm) width formed so that top surface is
continuous and flat to facilitate easy assembly of roof system.
7. Fabricate all elements of minimum 16 gauge steel.

8. Subject finished assemblies to periodic testing to loads equal to 110 percent of design
loads.
D. Zee Purlins:
1. Fabricate girts from cold-formed Z-shaped sections with stiffened flanges.

2. Size flange stiffeners to comply with requirements of AISI S100.
3. Purlin flanges unequal in width for easier nesting during erection.
4. Purlins pre-punched at factory to provide for field bolting to rigid frames.
E. Girts: Simple or continuous span as required by design. Connection bolts will install through
webs not flanges.
F. Bracing:
1. Diagonal Bracing:
a. Diagonal bracing in roof and sidewalls may be used to resist longitudinal loads
in structure when panel diaphragm cannot be used.
b. Furnish to length and equipped with hillside washers and nuts at each end.
c. Bracing may consist of rods threaded at each end or galvanized cable with
suitable threaded end anchors.
d. If load requirements dictate, bracing may be of structural angle or pipe, bolted
in place.
2. Special Bracing:
a. When diagonal bracing is not permitted in sidewall use rigid frame type portal or
fixed base column.
b. Shear walls may be used where adequate to resist applied wind or seismic
forces.
3. Flange Braces: Brace compression flange of primary framing laterally with angles
connecting to purlin or girt webs so that flange compressive stress is within allowable
limits for any combination of loading.
4. Bridging:
a. Laterally brace top chord of long bay purlins with horizontal bridging if roof
system being used will not supply adequate lateral support to top chord.
5. Horizontally bridge bottom chord for lateral bracing. One row of bolted diagonal
bridging required for long span purlins 40 feet (12 192 mm) long and longer.
G. Standing Seam Panels:
1. Provide factory fabricated and finished metal panels and accessories meeting
performance requirements, indicated profiles and structural requirements.
2. Fabricate metal joints configured to accept applied sealant providing weathertight seal
and preventing metal to metal contact and minimizing noise resulting from thermal
movement.
3. Fabricate panels in continuous lengths for full length of detailed runs, except where
otherwise indicated on drawings.
4. Sheet Metal Flashing and Trim: Fabricate or install flashing and trim to comply with
manufacturers written instructions and construction drawings.
5. Configure Ultra-Dek and Double-Lok panels with interlocking edges with factory
applied hot-melt mastic inside female seam. Female side snaps over male side (Ultra-
Dek) and when seamed (Double-Lok) creates continuous lock, forming 360 degree
Pittsburgh seam.
6. Notch Ultra-Dek and Double-Lok panels at factory at both ends so that field
installation can commence or terminate from either end of building.
7. Maximum panel length: 45 feet (13 716 mm) unless otherwise indicated.
H. End Laps:
1. Fabricate with 16 gauge backup plates and eight end lap joint fasteners installed in six
pre-punched holes in flat and in dimples in trapezoidal legs.
2. Apply mastic between panels and secure with self-drilling fasteners through panels
and backup plate.
3. Through roof fasteners may be used only at end laps and eaves.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 PREPARATION
A. Clean surfaces prior to installation.
B. Prepare surfaces using methods recommended by manufacturer for best result for substrate.
