Metal Building Profiles

FRAMING SYSTEMS

DCI can design and price your metal building system to increments of the nearest 1/16 of an inch and to comply with most common building codes. Each is designed by professional, experienced engineers and manufactured to exacting tolerances under rigid quality controlled plant conditions

BEAM AND COLUMN (BC)

The Beam and Column (BC) system is a modular, tapered or straight column system, available in 1/4:12 to 4:12 roof slopes.  Widths are 80' to 400' eave heights 12' to 30' and bay lengths 15’ to 30’. Available with one to 40 interior columns.

 

LEAN-TO (LT)

The Lean To (LT) roof slopes are available from 1/4:12 to 4:12. Widths are 15' to 70' for all structures.

RIGID FRAME (RF)

The Rigid Frame (RF) is a welded-plate-tapered or straight column clear span system available in 1/4:12 to 4.12 roof slopes. Widths are 20' to 150', save heights 10' to 30' and bay lengths 15' to 30'.

SINGLE SLOPE (SS)

The Single Slope (SS) is a welded-plate, tapered or straight sidewall column system, available in 1/4:12 to 4:12 roof slopes. Widths are 20' to 200', eave heights 10' to 30' and bay lengths 15' to 30'. It is available as a clear span or with one or more interior columns.

Girt Conditions
Girt conditions refer to the method which horizontal girts are attached to the exterior columns in a building. DCI offers two basic types of girt conditions - Flush and Bypass. Flush girts provide no air space between the columns and exterior panels yet offer the maximum amount of loor space. The Bypass girt makes a continuous run around the outside of a building’s columns, providing an air space the width of the girt between the column and exterior panels. An Inset girt minimizes the air space between the columns and exterior panels.

Eave Strut
A structural member located at the eave of a building that supports roof and wall paneling and may act as a strut to transfer bracing loads to frames.
