The Code Changed. Your Old Reference Is Wrong. This Is the Field Guide Metal Building Foundation Engineers Have Needed for Years.A warehouse stood for 19 years without a single problem.

Then someone cut a trench in the floor.

Three weeks later, a column shifted. The investigation found that the anchor system-hidden steel bars called hairpins-had been severed. Nobody knew they were structural. The repair cost $340,000.

That is what happens when the engineer doesn't know what is different about metal buildings.

This book is about what is different.

Pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs) are not like other buildings. The columns push outward under gravity load. The roof tries to lift off the ground under wind. The engineer must design the foundation before the manufacturer has even been chosen. And the codes changed-in 2014, in 2019, in 2021, and in 2022. The old reference that still sits on most engineering desks does not cover any of it.

This book was written for structural engineers who work on metal buildings and want to get it right.
