Metal Building Systems: Design and Specifications

This book from an expert on metal building systems--the first an author unaffiliated with an industry trade group--offers important, valuable, and unbiased information that can save you money and time--and that may even save your building! Full of essential features, tips and advice, this guide goes beyond manufacturer-supplied information to warn you of potential design pitfalls and to point out specific recurring problems and failures of MBS drawn from actual experience. It provides specific help--unavailable elsewhere--with specifying and selecting secondary framing, walls, roofs, and much, much more. This is the one book that is a must-have for any professional involved with pre-engineered buildings.
