4 Section: Introduction Date: 6/12/06 INTRODUCTION Star has a commitment to manufacture quality building components that are part of a total system which has been designed by an engineer and precision fabricated for simplified field assembly. The integrity of the Star approach to pre-engineered building design and the quality of manufacturing is witnessed by the more than 250,000 Star buildings that are in existence today. Star is providing this Job Site Information booklet as a general guide to the building owner or erector to erect the Star building. A copy of Star s Uniform Terms and Conditions is attached for your review in appendix 1. By reviewing this booklet, you acknowledge that you have read and hereby agree to Star s Uniform Terms and Conditions. Should you not agree to Star s Uniform Terms and Conditions for any reason, you are not to review, rely on or utilize in any manner this Job Site Information booklet. By studying this booklet and the erection drawings before the arrival of the steel shipment at the job site, the erector can pre-determine cost-critical requirements: 1. The size and scheduling of the work crew. 2. The type, size and quantity of tools and hoisting equipment needed. 3. Proper scheduling of erection sequence. 4. Notations on erection drawings that call out items requiring field location or modification. 5. Identify and pre-solve areas of questions or confusion. 6. Pre-planning of job site unloading, layout and storage of building parts. This booklet is intended only as a supplement to the erection drawings that are furnished with each building. The erection drawings show the owner s building as engineered and fabricated according to his contract documents. The building erection drawings will always govern with regard to construction details and specific building parts. Contact Star to resolve any questions or matters not addressed. In general, Star subscribes to the MBMA s CODE OF STANDARD PRACTICE with respect to the fabrication tolerances, erection methods and field work associated with a project. Star is a manufacturer of metal buildings and components and is not engaged in the erection of its products. Opinions expressed by Star about erection practices are intended to present only information as to how the components could be assembled to satisfy the building design. The experience, expertise and skills of the erection crews as well as the equipment available for handling the materials determines the quality and safety of erection and the ultimate owner satisfaction with the completed building. **Star makes no expressed or implied warranties pertaining to the merchantability or fitness of any particular building or its components for any particular purpose by the owner.

5 Section: Foundation Date: 6/12/06 ANCHOR ROD SETTING PLAN Star provides column reactions and an anchor rod setting plan for your project so that you may have your foundation designed and formed. We recommend all building foundations, including piers, grade beams and floor slabs, be designed by an experienced local foundation engineer. Please read and follow all of the notes on Star s anchor rod setting plan. It is very critical that your concrete be checked for proper elevation, level, square and dimension correctly. See Layout Squaring Methods on page 3. It is most critical that the anchor rods be located precisely, according to Star s anchor rod plan, and with the proper amount of projection. Note: Star does not provide the anchor rods. Measurements for anchor rod placements must be exact and should be rechecked to assure proper location of the structural framing prior to erection. If anchor rods are not set correctly, then the structural members may not bolt up correctly. Attention should be given to the setting of anchor rods for field location of overhead, slide and walk door openings if they are to be set with anchor rods before the pouring of concrete. Remember, the time to check all dimensions of the setting of the anchor rods is before the concrete is poured. The importance of accurate foundation construction and anchor rod setting cannot be overemphasized. Foundation errors and misplacing of anchor rods are among the most frequent and troublesome errors made in metal buildings. Anchor rods must be placed accurately in accordance with Star s anchor rod setting plan. Anchor rods should be held in place with a template (See Fig. 1, page 4) or similar means, so that they will remain plumb and with the proper amount of projection and in the correct location. You need to protect the threads of the anchor rod projection to prevent damage to them. This is usually accomplished by wrapping the threads with duct tape. Check the anchor rods position prior to pouring concrete and again after the concrete is poured but prior to firm setting to make sure they have not moved. Note: In no case should building erection be started on green (uncured) concrete. Equipment could damage the slab. Anchor rods or other fasteners may pull loose or the concrete could spall (chip out along edges) if erection occurs too soon. Check with the concrete supplier to determine the ideal curing period. Special circumstances may require even longer curing periods. Consult your local foundation engineer on foundation questions. Star s anchor rod setting plan will only provide the diameter of the anchor rods, the amount of projection required and the setting pattern of the anchor rods. Your foundation engineer should provide you with the required embedment of the anchor rods, concrete reinforcements, foundation dimensions and other foundation information. 2

7 Section: Foundation DATE: 6/12/06 The anchor rod setting plan will give you the necessary dimensions to set your anchor rods. The design of the foundation should be by a local foundation design professional. A = The gauge of the anchor rods (distance from center line to center line anchor rod). B = The distance of the anchor rods from the steel line. C = The dimension from centerline anchor rod setting to centerline anchor bolt setting. D = The dimension from centerline of anchor rod settings to center line anchor rod setting. E = The projection of the anchor rods from the face of the floor. D Stake Form Board Template Notch Board Template A A Anchor Rods D B C Notch Board TOP VIEW STEEL LINE TEMPLATE FORM BOARD STAKE B C ANCHOR RODS E FINISH FLOOR CROSS SECTION Check plans for details that are pertinent to your project.

10 Section: General Date: 6/12/06 Procedures for Identifying and Reporting Damages and Shortages Take a picture with a digital camera of the shipment from each side and from the end before any unloading begins. Star takes pictures of the loads before they leave the Star plant. If there are any shortages, that can be identified from the differences in pictures, a claim may be made against the carrier. Example: A vent crate is shown on top of the load when it leaves the Star Plant but pictures at the job site do not show it. It may be lost it in transit. This means the carrier is responsible for the vents. Star s Plant sends an envelope with each truck that contains a Packing List and a Load Check Sheet (See Fig. 1G) The first truck to leave the Star Plant will also have the Erection Drawings but it may not be the first truck to arrive at the job site. The Packing List will list all of the parts that a particular truck is carrying. The Load Check Sheet lists how many crates/packages of each type is loaded on each truck. Using the Load Check Sheet, check off the number of bundles, crates, boxes, cartons and pieces on each truck as they are unloaded. Note any shortages or visual damages observed on the carrier s Bill of Lading and have the driver sign it. Take photos of any damaged material. After the truck is unloaded, count the items in each crate, bundle, box, carton and pallet and check the quantity observed against the Packing List quantities. FIG. 1G LOAD CHECK SHEET 7

11 Section: General Date: 6/12/06 Damaged Material Note any visual damages observed on the carrier s Bill of Lading and have the driver sign it. Take photos of any damaged material, preferably with a digital camera. Using the Packing List, start an inventory of all of the building parts. Open crates and boxes so that material inside can be observed and counted. Note any concealed damage, take photos of it and report the damaged material to the carrier and Star Representative (see below). Star will have Customer Service order replacement material for the damaged material and send you an invoice. You will need to keep the damaged material, photos and invoice when making a claim against the carrier. You are responsible to pay Star s invoice for any additional material ordered. Fabrication Errors or Shortages Note any fabrication errors and take pictures of them. Identify any shortages and notify Star immediately. Star allows 30 days from delivery for reporting material shortages. Contact Star Representative (see below) and report the errors and/or shortages. HOW TO CONTACT STAR CONCERNING SHORTAGES OR DAMAGES TO SHIPMENT PHONE: MAIL: FAX: Ask to speak to * STAR REPRESENTATIVE * Star Representative Star Building Systems 8600 S.

This list is not intended to be all-inclusive, and each erector should supplement this list with other tools, materials or equipment necessary to satisfy his own particular erection methods or local construction codes. A recommended list of tools by the MBMA is included on pages 9 and 10. FIG. 3G EXTENSION LENGTH A power crane or other hoisting equipment will be required for spotting crated panels and structural members around the building perimeter. A banding machine is particularly recommended for binding stacks of uncrated panels against wind and other accidental damage. A good supply of vise-grips, C clamps and sheet clamps should be available for temporary connections of panels, trim and insulation seams. Whenever feasible, locate your power source as close as possible to your erection areas. Ensure that the voltage and amperage is sufficient for the type and number of power tools in use. All extensions should be 3-wire cords with twist/lock connections. See Fig. 3G for extension length guide. 9

13 Section: General Date: 6/12/06 RECOMMENDED BASIC TOOL PACKAGE FOR 5-7 MAN ERECTION WORK CREW This recommended list was developed by the Metal Building Manufacturers association, Inc., as a starting point. Products manufactured by particular companies may require additional special tools. It is the ERECTOR S responsibility to insure that the appropriate tool is used for a given job whether or not that tool appears on this list. 10

19 Section: Unloading and Storage Date: 6/12/06 The vehicle transporting your building parts must gain access to the building site from the adjacent highway or road. Such access should be studied and prepared in advance of arrival. All obstructions, overhead and otherwise, must be removed and the access route graveled or planked if the soil will not sustain the heavy wheel loads. Inspect to insure that there is enough room to physically unload the building and perform the tasks required to erect the building. The availability of any required utilities should also be considered in advance. Take careful note of any overhead electric lines or other utilities to avoid hazards and damage. Safety should be your primary concern. SPREADER BAR CRANE RIGHT WAY WRONG WAY RIGHT WAY FORKS SPREAD SPREADER BAR FORK LIFT FIG.1U HOISTING METHODS WRONG WAY FORKS TOO CLOSE A crane or forklift is necessary to unload the components of a metal building. Always spread the forks as wide as possible to prevent bending or warping the building components. It may become necessary to lift certain loads with a spreader bar, either on a crane or forklift (See Fig. 1U). Make sure the equipment you are unloading the building materials with is rated for the weight of the loads you will be picking up. Equipment not rated for the size and weight of the loads being handled can be dangerous and possibly cause damage to the building materials and personal injury. Also make sure that the area the forklift or crane is operating on is level and free of obstructions. Star is not responsible for any damage caused during unloading operations. 16

20 Section: Unloading and Storage Date: 6/12/06 Refer to page 7, General Section for procedures to handle shortages and/or damages of the shipment. Take pictures of any damages and send via to your Star Representative immediately so that replacement can be made with minimum disruption or delay of the erection schedule. Note damages and shortages on the Bill of FIG. 2U BUILDING PARTS PLACEMENT AT JOBSITE Pre-planning of the unloading operations is an important part or the erection procedure. It involves careful, safe and orderly storage of all components nearest their final use point. A good materials layout plan will provide maximum convenience and accessibility during erection. Leave one endwall of the floor clear for access by hoisting equipment and locate the access ramp at this end. An access ramp is needed to protect the edges of the concrete floor from damage from traffic moving materials onto the floor or hoisting equipment gaining access to the floor. Figure 2U shows a good layout plan. The rigid frame columns should be located near their anchor bolt location. Position the rigid frame rafters on the slab diagonally so that there is an access path down the center of the building. Rigid frame columns and rafter sections should be laid on their flanged edges on blocking to protect the floor (see Fig. 3U, p18). Accessories and small parts should be placed in a secure place to prevent theft and damage. Endwall and sidewall panels should be located near their respective locations. Place roof panels on either side of the building if one panel does not go completely across the roof. Girts, purlins and endwall structural components should be located around the perimeter in their respective positions. All columns, rafters and other non-crated as well as crated items should be placed on wood blocking or other blocking to prevent contact with the ground or floor. Block one end higher to permit drainage of any rainwater during storage. Cover with tarps. 17

21 Section: Unloading and Storage Date: 6/12/06 FIG. 4U SLOPING CRATES Note: All roof and wall panels should be inspected for moisture upon delivery FIG. 5U TARPING CRATES NOTE: CRATES SHOWN MAY NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL STAR CRATING FIG. 3U BLOCKING OF STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS Panels arrive at job site wrapped in moisture resistant paper from Star. Open and inspect immediately for moisture. Separate and wipe each panel dry and then store in a dry place. When handling or uncrating the panels, lift rather than slide them apart. Burred edges may scratch the coated surfaces when sheets are slid over one another. Never allow panels to be walked on while on the ground. Be sure to use gloves when handling panels to prevent cutting your hand. All stacked metal panels, painted and unpainted, are subject to some degree to localized discoloration or stain when water is trapped between their closely nested surfaces. Star exercises extreme caution during fabricating and shipping operations to insure that all panel stock is kept dry. However, due to climatic conditions, water formed by condensation or humid air can become trapped between the stacked sheets. Water can also be trapped between the stacked sheets when exposed to rain. This discoloration caused by trapped moisture is often called white rust. This deterioration is usually superficial and has little effect on the appearance or service life of the panels as long as it is not permitted to remain on the panels. However, moisture in contact with the surface of the panels over a period of time can severely attack the finish and reduce the effective service life. Therefore, it is imperative that all panels be inspected for moisture upon arrival at jobsite. Store panels sloping and elevated so that moisture can run off and have good air circulation. (See Fig. 4U) Panels and other building components should also be covered with tarps and secured. (See Fig. 5U) NOTE: STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO PROTECT THE MATERIAL AGAINST VANDALISM AND PILFERAGE. 18

22 Section: Unloading and Storage Date: 6/12/06 Tension and hook height for lifting weights at various angles are shown by the diagrams. Notice how the cable tension increases as the lifting angle is decreased. It is of interest to note that if this angle is reduced to 15 degrees, the cable tension is 3.9 times the vertical lift; at 10 degrees, it is 5.7 and at 5 degrees it is H=.087 x D 2W When tension in the cable increases, the compressive and buckling load on the lifted piece also increases. Slings with low lifting angles should therefore be avoided both to protect the cable and to prevent buckling the load. 60 degrees D Lifting 60 degrees Tension in Cable is 1.15 x W 2W H = 0.5 x D 45 degrees D FIG. 6U BALANCE POINT Star s panel crates have a green sticker that indicates the approximate balance point. (See Fig. 6U) Use these stickers as a starting point only to balance the load when lifting. Pick the load up easy and check how it is balanced before starting to unload it. Do not get directly under any suspended loads, H=0.29 x D Lifting 45 degrees Tension in Cable is 1.41 x W 2W NOTE. Check wire rope for broken strands, broken wires and kinking. Replace damaged, unsafe rope immediately. Always use equipment with an adequate safety margin over the lifted load. SAFETY FIRST 30 degrees D = Width W = Weight D Lifting 30 degrees Tension in Cable is 2 x W 19

25 Section: Structural Date: 6/12/06 ERECTION SEQUENCE The erection sequence described in this Erection Guide has been proven as the most effective and efficient method of erecting a Star clear span, rigid frame building. The following sequence is suggested after the foundation has been properly checked and cured. 1. Erect braced bay ( noted on erection drawings, if not, second bay from endwall) 2. Erect endwall 3. Erect end bay 4. Erect additional intermediate bays 5. Erect opposite endwall 6. Final Check 7. Clean-up Each step in the erection sequence contains instructions relative to that particular area of the building. Only the most important aspects of erection are included. Refer to erection drawings at all times for more specific information and details. STEP 1 - ERECTING THE BRACED BAY Proper erection of the braced bay is critical to erecting the total structural framing in a plumb, square and true alignment. The braced bay is generally the second bay from the post and beam endwall but check the erection drawings for actual braced bay, if any. See Note below. COLUMN COLUMNS ANCHOR BOLTS FIG. 1S SETTING COLUMNS AT BRACED BAY DETAIL A COLUMN BASE AT FOUNDATION 1. First, set two of the braced bay columns at anchor rod locations on one side of the foundation. (See Fig. 1S) Plumb and level each column and insure it is setting flush on foundation before attaching to anchor rods with nuts. If necessary, chip out or shim under the column base to assure flush setting. and alignment. 2. Attach flange braces flange of column. Flange braces may be required on one side of the column only or both. (See Fig. 2S) Indicated on drawings as NS (near side) or FS (far side. NOTE Some structural systems with diaphragm action design do not require brace rods. It is recommended; however, that brace rods always be used during erection to assist in maintaining proper alignment and safety. OPTIONAL ATTACHMENT FIG. 2S ATTACHMENT OF FLANGE BRACE TO COLUMN 22

Tie the two columns together by bolting on a girt and eave strut. (See Fig. 3S) Girts will lap at columns if exterior mounted, therefore, attach inner Zee girt to column with one bolt and sub-nut (thin nut). The sub-nut will be tightened and left in place. ( See Sub-nut Detail) Girts for the adjacent bays will lap this placed girt and use a Sub-nut on the adjacent columns to hold the girts in place. You can attach the flange braces to the girts after lapping the girts. (See Detail C) 4. Move to the other side of the foundation and set the two opposite columns. Use the same method for securing the columns in plumb and level alignment. Tie columns together with a girt and eave strut. (See Fig. 4S) SUB-NUT DETAIL AT EXTERIOR GIRTS FIG. 4S TYING COLUMNS TOGETHER ON OPPOSITE SIDE OF BUILDING 23

Rafter sections should be blocked-up on the foundation in position for assembly and hoisting to erected columns. 2. Assemble rafter sections with High Strength bolts. (See Fig. 5S) 3. Connect flange braces to holes in bottom flange of assembled rafter. Locations of flange braces are shown on the erection drawings. DETAIL F SLINGING TECHNIQUE FOR RAFTER 4. Hoist assembled rafter and set on the first set of columns. Rigging, slinging and lifting methods vary with the size and weight of the rafter assembly. Make sure the type of hoisting equipment you are using and the methods used are suitable to the size and weight of the assembled rafter. 5. After slings are rigged at proper points on rafter, insert a drift pin through a hole in the rafter flange to prevent slippage of the sling. Damage to rafter flange can be prevented by blocking between the flanges. Damage to choker sling can be prevented by using softeners on the rafter flanges at sling locations (See Fig. 6S). 6. Make a test lift and reposition slings if beam assembly twists. Think Safety - DO NOT GET DIRECTLY UNDER LIFTED ASSEMBLY UNTIL BOLTED IN PLACE ON THE COLUMNS. 24

28 Section: Structural Date: 6/12/06 G High Strength Bolts FIG. 7S INSTALLATION OF RAFTERS AT BRACED BAYS DETAIL G - ASSEMBLY OF RAFTER WITH COLUMN 7. Set rafter and secure to columns with High Strength bolts. (See Detail G) 8. Assemble second rafter assembly on the ground and place in position on the second set of columns (See Fig. 7S) 9. While first two frames are being set and accessible from the ground, temporary bracing or tie-offs should be used to protect against wind damage or personal injury to workers. This temporary bracing should be left in place until the first bay with the permanent bracing is completed and connection bolts torqued to specified tightness. Do not remove the temporary bracing until permanent bracing is in place.

After the first two completed frames are set and the temporary bracing is in place, the purlins in the first bay should be installed. All or part of the purlins may be erected at this time. Start with the eave strut, brace locations and peak purlin then fill in. The peak purlin must always be installed. (See Fig. 8S) Brace locations are where the rod bracing is or in line with the endwall columns. 11. Flange brace connections from rafter to purlins can also be completed at this time. (See Fig. 9S) 12. Purlins also lap at rafter location, and all of the bolts connecting purlins to purlins or purlins to rafter should be installed finger tight only. Purlin lap may vary depending on location. After the braced bay has been aligned and adjacent structurals erected, girt and purlin connections can be tightened. 25

Diagonal brace rods are installed in roof and wall in the braced bay. See erection drawings for location. 2. Slotted holes are factory located in the web of the rafters and columns for inserting the adjustable brace rods. Hillside washers with oversize, flat hitensile washers under the nut secures the brace rods at each end. Clevis plates are also used. Brace rods should not be tighten Until the brace bay is plumb and square. (See Fig. 10S) DETAIL I INSTALLATION OF BRACE RODS AT COLUMN BASE Aligning the Braced Bay Plumbing and aligning a total structural system Begins with the first bay (braced bay) and continues through completion. Perfect alignment of the first bay is important to assure correct alignment of succeeding bays. There are several accepted methods. FIG. 11S PLUMBING COLUMNS WITH CARPENTER S SPIRIT LEVEL FIG. 12S ALIGNING RAFTERS WITH PLUMB BOB Use a carpenter s spirit level to plumb the rigid frame columns. (See Fig. 11S) Adjust the columns by loosening or tightening the brace rod nuts. As one rod is tightened, the other must be loosened. Then measure diagonally from the underside of the knee to the bottom side of the column on the opposite side of the building. Columns are plumb and square when the distance is the same between opposite corners. More accurate alignment can be assured by use of a transit. Align rafters with a plumb bob and intersecting cord connected at the ridge. When roof brace rods are adjusted properly, plumb bob will touch center of cord tied between opposite column bases. (See Fig. 12S) Tighten brace rods to slightly snug when columns and rafters are plumb and square. Burr threads on brace rods after final tightening. 26

30 Section: Structural Date: 6/12/06 STEP 2 ERECTING THE ENDWALLS The building covered in these instructions is designed for either a post and beam endwall or a rigid frame endwall. Instructions are included for both types. Erecting the Post & Beam Endwall The location and number of endwall columns will vary due to building sizes. The width of the building will also determine how much of the endwall can be assembled on the ground. For larger width buildings, the post and beam endwall will have to be assembled in the upright position. FIG. 13S ERECTION OF POST & BEAM ENDWALL 1. Layout all structural components in their appropriate locations. (See Figure 13S ) Make sure that all the components are located before assembling the endwall. 2. Secure base clip of endwall columns to endwall columns before raising the endwall. 3. Depending on the width of the building, the endwall can be assembled on the ground, raised and set in place. If the building width is too wide to raise the post and beam endwall in one section, you may have to raise it in manageable sections and set in place. 4. Another method to erect the endwall would be to construct the endwall in place. See procedure below. Erecting Post and Beam in the Upright Position 1. Attach the girt clips to the columns while on the ground. 2. Raise the corner columns and bolt to the base clips. 3. Install side wall girts from frame columns to the corner columns. 4. Raise the second endwall column in from the corner and bolt to the base clips. 5. Install endwall girts from the corner column to the second column. 6. Install endwall rafter from the corner column to the second column. 7. Install a purlin from endwall rafter near the second column to the frame rafter. 8. Continue toward the center of the building erecting endwall columns, girts and end rafters. 9. Install purlins to stabilize the endwall. DO NOT LEAN LADDERS AGAINST THE ENDWALL COLUMNS WITHOUT BRACING THE ENDWALL FIRST. 27

Check erection drawings to check for any additional bracing requirements. After each frame is erected, install enough girts, purlins and eave struts to stabilize the frame before moving on to the next bay. Be sure to check each bay erected for plumb and square. Check erection drawings for framed openings and other accessories. Be sure to use the appropriate girts in the bay(s) where there are framed openings if the girts were factory cut for the framed openings. Rather than raising fill-in purlins from the ground to the rafters one by one as the framework progresses, it is more economical to have bundles of purlins raised by a crane and placed near the eave. The erection crew can then move the individual purlins up the rafter to their positions. STEP 5 ERECTING THE OPPOSITE ENDWALL. Follow the same steps as when erecting the first endwall and end bay. Be sure to check for plumb and square. Also check for accessory locations if any. STEP 6 FINAL CHECK Make sure building is plumb and square and that all bolts are tightened in accordance with their specifications. Check all dimensions. STEP 7 CLEAN-UP Clean-up all debris, trash and blocking left by the erection of the building. 31

35 Section: Wall Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 Note: All the primary and secondary framing should be erected plumb and the bolts properly tightened before the sheeting of the building is started. Framed openings should also be installed, plumbed, squared and tightened before sheeting begins. DURA-RIB WALL PANEL FIG. 1W DURA-RIB PANEL CROSS SECTION SHEETING DIRECTION PREVAILING WIND DIRECTION EXTENDED LEG SIDELAP LEG FIG. 2W DURA-RIB SIDELAP FOR WALLS 1. Configuration: As shown in Fig. 1W, each Dura-Rib panel has an extended-leg and shortleg side corrugation. The short-leg corrugation is referred to the sidelap and always overlaps the extended leg corrugation. 2. Sheeting direction: The short leg or sidelap corrugation is always the over-lapping side. As shown in Fig. 2W, determining sheeting direction is critical when laying out and predrilling the panels. Sheet the walls so that the sidelaps are facing away from the prevailing wind direction (see Fig. 2W) when determining the sheeting direction. Panels can be sheeted left to right or right to left but the sidelap must always be the overlaying panel leg. 3. Star s Dura-Rib wall and roof panels are quality merchandise and should be handled with care. When unpacking panels, pick them up and apart. Never slide one panel over another. When lifting panels, support long panels to prevent buckling. Always use gloves when lifting sheets. Be especially careful moving panels when it is windy as they tend to act like a sail and catch the wind. 32

Installation of the building walls is generally done before the roof. Before starting the wall installation, check to be sure that the eave strut and girts are straight and plumb. One method of aligning the girts is to cut temporary wood blocking to the proper length and install between the lines of girts. This blocking can be moved from bay to bay which will reduce the number of pieces required. Normally, one blocking centered between columns is sufficient for proper alignment. 5. Shoring Girts: The 2 lumber from panel crates provides good blocking lumber. Just cut to length and install as shown in Fig. 4W. 6. Block between foundation and girt, first. 7. Block between girt and eave strut next. 8. Blocking of roof purlins is also shown in Fig. 4W. Move the blocking as sheeting of the roof panels proceeds.

First, measure and mark along the base of the sidewalls. Marks should be made on the side of foundation or on the base flashing. Make your first mark on the base at a point 3-0 in from the endwall steel line. From the first mark make good visible marks every 3-0 along the entire length of the sidewall. (See Fig. 6W) 10. Measure and mark along the base of the endwalls. Marks should be made on the side of foundation or on the base flashing. Make your first mark on the base at a point 3-0 in from the sidewall steel line. From the first mark make good visible marks every 3-0 along the entire length of the endwall. (See Fig. 6W) 11. You can use a plumb bob to assure that your marks on the eave strut and end rafter align with your base marks. Check marks frequently to be sure the top and bottom score marks are in a straight line. If they are not, go back and find the error before proceeding with the marking operation. 12. When placing panels on your walls, align the center of the major rib with the top and bottom marks. Check the panel with spirit level and tape measure frequently to make sure the panel is being properly placed. 35

39 Section: Wall Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 Clamp panels together to assure holes line up and to prevent shavings between panels. Support lap corrugation when drilling panel. FIG. 12W SECURING PANELS FOR PRE-DRILLING FIG. 11W WALL PANEL TEMPLATE Note: Pre-drilling for structural fasteners is not absolutely necessary as panels can be drilled in position on building. Pre-drilling for stitch screws is necessary to prevent cocked hat fasteners. Pre-drilling can save time and will insure horizontal alignment of fasteners and a neater finished building. Extreme care should be exercised in the location and placement of the holes. 36

40 Section: Wall Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 PRE-DRILLING WALL PANELS All wall panels should be pre-drilled for a proper sheeting job. However, any errors in predrilling will result in wasted panels and a poor sheeting job, so follow instructions carefully. Make a template panel for each wall to insure correct lap direction and location of drill holes at base, girts and laps. Panel holes for eave strut and endwall rafter (or rake angle) fastening should be drilled while panels are actually being erected. First, hold your template panel against the wall with the short-leg side in position as shown in Fig.11W page 36. Then mark girt and base locations on panel. Lay panel down and mark the location of the remaining girt, base and sidelap corrugation holes as shown in Fig. 11W page 36. Now drill all marked holes with a 5/32 bit. Be sure to keep drill in straight and true position. Use clean, sharp bits (5/32 ) and change to new bits frequently. Be sure to support lap corrugations when pre-drilling. (See Fig. 12W page 36) Now, reposition template panel against wall structurals and check for proper alignment of drill holes with base and girts. If alignment checks out, proceed with pre-drilling other panels as follows. Separate panels for each wall, by length and location, into stacks of no more than ten (10) panels. Secure stack with clamps and blocks, as shown is Fig. 12W page 36, so that all panels are laying flat, properly nested at corrugations and aligned at the ends and sides. (See Fig. 13W page 36) If stacks are to be left overnight, it is recommended that they be machine banded and covered. Be sure template panel is properly aligned and secured to top of stack. Place template carefully on and off stacks, so as not to scratch surface of top panel. Mark panels through template holes. To eliminate oversize holes in template panel, use template as a marking template not a drilling template. No more than 10 panels stacked at one time Lift off template panel carefully. Now, drill holes through stacks, use template marks as bit guide. Follow same procedures for pre-drilling all stacks for each wall. Brush shaving off each panel before removing from stack.

If trimming is necessary, be sure to leave a tab for seaming. Trim excess insulation at the gable. Sweep drill shavings off base flash. Corner Trim Since corner trim closes the corners and connects the walls together, its attachment to the wall panel is included in this section. 1. Cut long leg of panel to clear corner trim. (See Fig. 19W) 2. Wall screws, field painted to match corner trim if necessary, should be used for attachment at base, girts, and eave strut or end rafter. (See Fig. 19W) 3. Fasten to the sidewall and endwall panels with trim fasteners at 2-0 on center. Begin approximately 6 from the base and continue up the panel at 2-0 on center. (See Fig.20W) 4. When corner trim must be spliced, lap top trim over bottom trim a minimum 2 and fasten together with trim fasteners. (See Fig. 20W) Avoid locating splice at or near eye level if possible. 41

After StarMark panel has been drilled and fastened at all structural locations, drive fasteners at side-lap locations (See Fig. 24W). Use a 1/8 bit for drilling holes in under-lap corrugation. Angle the drill toward the accepting panel (under-lap) to offset deflection. (See Fig. 23W Page 42) 7. Self-drilling stitch screws can be installed without pre-drilling under-lap corrugations but these conditions require the erector to carefully gauge the amount of pressure applied during installation and to start the screw in a cocked position to avoid hour-glassing the lap. (See Fig. 23W Page 42) 43

47 Section: Wall Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 STEPS FOR INSTALLING STARMARK WALL PANEL 1. Shore the girts as shown in Fig. 4W, Page Install insulation trim angles if ordered. See Erection Drawings. 3. Mark the base as shown in Fig. 6W, Page Mark the Eave Strut. Use a plumb bob to line up marks on Eave Strut with marks on base. 5. Mark the Gable. Use a plumb bob to line up marks on End Rafter or Sheeting Angle with marks on base. 6. Make a wall panel template for marking the pre-drilled holes. (See Fig. 5W, Page 41). 7. See Page 6 for pre-drilling wall panels. 8. If insulation is being used: Lay a run of double face tape at base and eave strut: Cut a section of 4-0 wide insulation and install.

50 Section: Roof Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 Roof sheeting requires greater skill and care during erection than any other part of the building. because the roof presents the greatest exposure to weather and possible damage to panels during erection. The erector should follow the sequence specified for erecting the roof panels in this section on roof sheeting. Dura-Rib roof panel may be up to 45-0 in length so extreme care should be used when hoisting the panels to the roof. If the panels exceed 15-0 in length, use two straps spaced 10 to 12 apart when hoisting to roof. Keep roof traffic restricted to the roof sheeting crew. Excessive weight or traffic on unsupported panel areas or high corrugations can cause a permanent damage or corrugation collapse. Caution the crew to confine their walking to flat areas of roof panels and at locations supported by purlins. Do not walk on ribs. Roofing Sequence 1. Block the purlins. 2. Make roof panel template for marking pre-drilling side-lap stitching holes. 3. Pre-drill stitching holes in short-leg corrugation. 4. Measure and mark purlins for panel measurements. 5. Load panels and insulation on the roof. 6. Place first roll of insulation. 7. Attach first roof panel. 8. Attach second roof panel. 9. Place second roll of insulation. 10. Attach second run of panels. NOTE! AFTER EACH DAY S WORK SWEEP THE METAL FILINGS OFF OF THE ROOF. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. SWEEP THE ROOF AFTER EACH DAY S ROOF INSTALLATION AND AFTER THE ROOF IS INSTALLED SWEEP IT AGAIN. VISUALLY INSPECT EACH FASTENER TO MAKE SURE IT IS INSTALLED PROPERLY. REMOVE ANY TRASH ON THE ROOF. USE A SOFT BRISTLE BROOM WHEN SWEEPING TO PREVENT ANY SCRATCHING OF ROOF SURFACE. SWEEP A SMALL AREA AND PICK UP ANY FILINGS OR SCREWS ETC. DO NOT SWEEP FILINGS ACROSS A LARGE EXPANSE OF ROOF OR IT MAY SCRATCH THE ROOF SURFACE. 47

51 STEP ONE: BLOCKING THE PURLINS JOB SITE INFORMATION Section: Roof Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 PURLINS FRAME RAFTER Blocking insures proper alignment of purlins while positioning and fastening roof panels. (See Fig. 1R) Cut blocking material to shape and dimensions as shown in Fig. 2R and Fig. 3R. Blocking can generally be cut from crating material. EAVE STRUT END RAFTER Place blocks into position shown. One row of blocks per bay is adequate. Slide blocking down the bay as insulation and panel installation approaches blocking keeping blocking ahead of the sheeting process. FIG. 1R PURLIN BLOCKING SEE ERECTION DRAWINGS FOR DIMENSIONS NOTE! It is very important to keep the purlins in alignment. After all the roof panels are on, you will not be able to see the purlins to line up your fasteners. If the purlins are in a straight line you can use a chalk line to line up your structural fasteners. This will provide a better appearance but more importantly it will allow you to place your fasteners in the center of the top flange of the purlin.

TO PEAK PURLIN FIG. 4R SPACING FOR ROOF PANEL SIDE-LAP FASTENERS PRE-DRILLING ROOF PANEL SIDE-LAPS For roof sheeting, pre-drilling is recommended only to provide side-lap stitching holes in the short-leg corrugation. Drilling at all other panel fastening locations should be done when panels are actually being screwed to the roof structurals. Check cross sections on erection drawings for spacing and which panels are eave panels or splice panels. Separate, according to length, into stacks of eave, splice and ridge panels. Limit stacks to 10 panels each. 3/16 BIT DO NOT TRY TO DRILL THROUGH MORE THAN 10 PANELS AT ONE TIME DRILL AT THE CENTERLINE OF THE RIB ROOF PANEL SHORT- LEG CORRUGATION NOTE!

53 Section: Roof Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 ROOF PANEL STEEL LINE WHY MARK PURLINS GABLE SHEETING ANGLE PURLIN WALL PANEL FIG 6R STEEL LINE LOCATION CORRUGATED ROOF PANELS MAY FLATTEN OUT SLIGHTLY WHEN YOU ARE STANDING ON THEM. THE MARKS ARE TO INSURE THAT THE ROOF PAN- ELS ARE BEING INSTALLED SO THAT THE PANEL IS SQUARE TO THE BUILD- ING AND IS ONLY COVERING THREE FEET. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR LOOKS, WEATHERTIGHTNESS, WARRANTY IMPLICATIONS AND FLASHING COMPATIBILITY. If the length of your building is in even feet then you will need to measure from the steel line and mark every other purlin at 3-0 increments with a marker that you can easily see. When installing your panel you will need to measure from a mark to the center of your leading rib. If the length of your building is not in even feet you will need to measure from the steel line and add 1/2 of the distance over even feet to the first 3-0 increment. Example, if the building is 42-6 long, subtract 42-0 (even feet) which will leave you with 0-6. One half of the 0-6 is 0-3. Add this to 3-0 to get your first mark at 3-3. Then make your marks every 3-0 after that. The last mark will be the same distance from the opposite steel line as the first mark. STEEL LINE STEEL LINE SPACES 3-3 PURLIN FIG. 7R EXAMPLE MARKING PURLINS FOR BUILDINGS WITH DIMENSIONS NOT IN EVEN FEET When using insulation, the marks next to the panel being installed will be covered by the insulation. Measure from the center of the rib of the leading edge of the panel being installed to the next mark visible beyond the edge of the insulation. The dimension should be three feet from the center of the rib to the mark. 50

54 Section: Roof Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 LOADING ROOF PANELS AND INSULATION ON TO THE ROOF Pre-positioning roof panels on the roof can save time when roofing but there are some important safety factors to consider when doing it. 1. Only place as many panels on the roof as can be attached to the roof that day. 2. When placing panels in a stack on the roof, always place them over a rigid frame line. 3. Never place more than 10 panels in a single stack. 4. Always use a strap or some method to secure the panels to the structural system until they are to be used. When the wind blows, it can easily take the panels off the roof if not securely attached to the structural system. It is best to use more than one strap on a stack. 5. Always use two or more men when moving a panel into position to fasten to the structural system. 6. Be careful when moving a panel off a stack. Lift the panel from the stack. Do not slide the panel over the others as this will lead to scratching of the finish. 7. DO NOT LEAVE PANELS ON ROOF OVER NIGHT UNLESS SECURELY ATTACHED TO STRUCTURAL MEMBERS. After the first few panels are fastened in place, additional rolls of insulation can be place on top of the in-place panels. Follow a few steps. 1. Never place too many rolls of insulation on the roof panel in one location. 2. It is preferred to place additional rolls of insulation on top of the panels where a purlin is located beneath. 3. Only place on the roof the amount of insulation that can be put in place that day. 4. Never leave insulation rolls on the roof over night. NOTE! ALWAYS WALK ON THE FLAT OF THE PANEL, NEVER ON THE RIBS 51

55 Section: Roof Sheeting Date: 6/12/06 See Insulation Section for placing the first roll of insulation. After first roll of insulation is taped in place, position the first roof panel. Use the eave trim on Dura-Rib walls or StarMark walls to align the eave edge of the roof panel. The tab of the eave trim should align with the corrugations of the roof panel. If wall panel is not by Star or no eave panel, use your purlin and eave strut marks to position the leading edge of the panel. The leading edge is the edge with the rib that has an extended leg. Remember that the three foot mark goes to the center of the rib. Check erection drawings for the amount that the roof panel extends * past the eave strut. After positioning the first panel and double checking your dimensions, place a structural fastener in the flat of the panel behind the leading edge of the panel and at each purlin and eave strut. Then place a structural fastener in the flat of the panel at the endwall locations for purlins and eave strut. Move to the opposite side of the ridge and install the second panel as the first panel was installed except that at the ridge, place a ridge cap temporary on panel one to line up panel two before securing panel two with the structural fasteners. Eave Trim Wall Panel Check erection drawings for dimensions for projection of roof panel past eave strut. Dimensions vary with gutter and without gutter. Roof Panel Eave Strut NOTE!

After the second run of insulation is applied (See Insulation Section), position panel three next to panel one with the short leg of panel three positioned to be placed on the top of extended leg of panel one. Apply StarSeal sealant to the extended leg of panel one. See Fig. 12R for proper location of StarSeal. Note that StarSeal has a return leg at the eave (Refer to Fig. 13R). 1 STARSEAL PANEL ONE LAP FASTENER PANEL THREE STARSEAL EXTENTED-LEG DURA-RIB ROOF PANEL FIG. 12R APPLICATION OF STARSEAL EAVE STRUT FIG. 13R APPLICATION OF STARSEAL AT EAVE After StarSeal is applied to the extended-leg on panel one, slide panel three into position on and aligned with panel one. Slowly pull off the paper covering the StarSeal at a 45 degree angle from under panel three. Press panel three down on the StarSeal. Screw lap fasteners in all of the pre-drilled lap fastener holes in panel three. Do not overdrive the lap fasteners. See Fig. 14R, page 54. Measure to the centerline of the rib of the leading edge (extended-leg) of panel three from the first mark located beyond the insulation and make sure the dimension is three feet (see Fig. 14R, p54). Screw a structural fastener in the flat of the panel behind the leading rib at the eave strut and each purlin. Try to have the fastener hit the center of purlin top flange. Note! StarSeal should not be applied when temperatures are less than 32 degrees. Keep StarSeal cool when applying in hot temperatures. One method is to keep a couple of rolls of StarSeal in a plastic bag inside an ice chest on the roof. This will make it easier to remove the paper tape from the StarSeal when applied. 53

76 Section: Insulation Date: 6/12/06 Insulate and sheet both sidewalls before starting on endwalls. Be sure that side lap on both sidewalls face away from the prevailing wind direction. The following steps apply to both sidewalls, with insulation and sheeting being started from the corner of the building. 1. Lay a run of double faced tape along eave strut and base angle. See Fig Starting with a 4-0 wide roll, cut the length of insulation equal to the eave height plus 12 inches. Using the 4-0 wide insulation as a starter will insure that butt seams of insulation will always run ahead of panel side laps. Start the insulation at the side wall steel line. See Fig Lay this length against eave and base tape as shown in Fig. 1. Be sure vapor-barrier side of insulation is facing in toward the building interior. 4. Note that the ends of the insulation should extend beyond eave strut and base angle by Trim bottom of insulation so it lays just off the base. Leave enough facing to fold between bottom of insulation and base, as shown in Fig. 3. This trim and fold will prevent the insulation from wicking any moisture that may accumulate on base.

Place each length in position so that it butts snugly with the side of the previously installed roll of insulation. Trim bottom of insulation to prevent wicking as shown in Fig As shown in Fig. 4, seal the side tabs of the adjoining insulation sections with the cigarette roll seam. 7. An alternative method of forming the tab seam from the inside of the building is shown in Fig. 5. With this method, the rolled and stapled tabs are pushed back between the edges of the insulation after the seam is made. 8. Continue along the sidewall, placing insulation and erecting panels. Remember to trim each section of insulation at base and to seam tabs of adjoining sections. 9. After completing the sheeting of your first sidewall, trim excess insulation at the eave and proceed to the opposite sidewall and insulate and sheet by following the same steps.

78 Section: Insulation Date: 6/12/06 ENDWALL INSULATION 10. As with the sidewall insulation place doublesided tape along the base angle. Also place double-sided tape along the gable sheeting angle (see Fig. 6) 11. Because the gable sheeting angle is on a slope you will need to measure to the high point for each length of endwall insulation. Add 1-0 to that dimension when cutting the insulation to length. You will use 4-0 wide insulation for the first run on the end walls. 12. Trim the bottom of the insulation so it lays just off the base. Leave enough facing to fold over the end of the insulation to prevent wicking. See Fig. 3, Page Position the first piece of endwall insulation in place with the trailing edge located at the endwall steel line. See Fig. 2, Page 73. Attach to the double-sided tape at the base and gable sheeting angle. Gable Sheeting Angle Eave Strut Double-sided Tape Corner Column FIG. 6 INSTALLATION OF DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE FOR ENDWALL 14. After the first endwall panel is placed, cut the second piece of endwall insulation from a 3 wide roll being sure to measure to the high point and adding 1-0 for the length. 15. Trim the bottom 16. Seal the tabs as shown in Fig. 4, Page 74 or Fig. 5, Page Install the second endwall panel. 18. Trim the excess insulation at top of the gable sheeting angle.

79 Section: Insulation Date: 6/12/06 WORK PLATFORM FIRST ROLL OF INSULATION Place 3 diameter PVC pipe Under insulation so it will Not snag on eave trim. Note! Be sure to make your insulation splice directly over a purlin if the insulation is not sufficient in length to cover the eave to eave roof run. The length of insulation required to make the eave to eave run is the width of the building plus two feet. When splicing is necessary, handle as shown in Fig. 9, Page 77. FIG. 8 STARTING THE INSULATING OF THE ROOF ROOF INSULATION 1. Secure two rows of single panels to purlins about 5-0 back from the end of the roof as shown in Fig. 8. These panels will serve as a working platform for starting your roof insulating job. 2. Start with a 4-0 wide roll of insulation and roll it out on top of your working platform panels from one eave to the other or to the closest purlin for splicing if roll length is not equal to roof dimension. Be sure the vapor-barrier side of insulation is facing down. 3. Lay a strip of double-sided tape along the top flange of the eave strut on both sides of the building. 4. Lift or slide the insulation from the working platform panels into position along the gable sheeting angle as shown in Fig. 7, Page Secure one end of insulation to the eave strut tape allowing a 0-6 lap. Now, pull the insulation taut from the end and secure to tape on opposite eave strut of to the purlin which will support an insulation splice. 6. After the first run of insulation has been pulled taut across the roof and secured to the eave struts, trim off excess insulation right at the eave trim panels. 76
