 1. DESIGN CODES :

The steel pinnacle structure described in these has been designed according
to the following codes.

 AISC-2005 American Institute of Steel Construction

 MBMA-2006 Metal Building Manufacturers Association
 ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and other structures
 AWS American Welding Society

2. MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS :

The following is the list of the material standards and specifications for which
the building components have been designed:

Load.

3.DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS :
• The main frame rafters and exterior columns are rigidly connected to each
other (using moment type connections).
• The exterior columns are Pinned connected to the foundations.
• The lateral stability of the building is provided through the frame action of
the main frames.
• The longitudinal stability of the building is provided through the braced
action in the cross braced bays of the building.
• The frames at the endwalls are rigid frame.
 3.LOAD COMBINATIONS :
1) Dead Load + Collateral Load
2) Dead Load + Collateral Load + Live Load
3) Dead Load + Collateral load + 0.75Live Load + 0.75Wind Load
4) 0.60Dead Load + Wind Load
5) Dead Load + Collateral Load + 0.75Live Load + 0.525Seismic Load
6) 0.60Dead Load + 0.70Seismic Load
