Gable Unsymmetrical

Description: A ridged (double slope) building in which the ridge is off-center
Gable: The triangular portion of the endwall from the level of the eave to the ridge of the roof.
Finish: Red Oxide Primer (standard), Grey Primer (available upon request)
Usage: Low rise construction
Limitations: Supports widths from 10' to 600' or more, heights from 10' to 100', clear spans up to 250' or more, and roof slopes of 1/4 : 12 up to 12 : 12
Features:

• Designers have the capability of arranging sidewall columns that are straight or columns with the more economical tapered section
• A&S fabricates all main framing in accordance with the company's strict AISC quality certification guidelines
• Interior support columns available as either pipe sections or H sections
• A&S frames come with welded subassemblies. Roof purlin and wall girt support plates are factory welded to the main frames
• Purlins are supported laterally by the welded plates
• A&S furnishes all structural bolts with a corrosion protective plating
• Frames are prefabricated as much as possible
• End wall frames can be simple post and beam type construction, or can be built with a full interior type rigid frame to accommodate future expansion
• Asymmetrical shape

Benefits:

• Flexible design providing for maximum utilization of interior space.
• The benefit of the quality fabrication practice of A&S is the reduction in building assembly labor, and subsequently lower erection cost.
• Wider buildings are feasibly more economical
• Saves erection time and increases the overall stiffness of the building
  
• Reduces the amount of purlin roll experienced under heavy loading
• Improves the appearance of the building and helps to speed up erection process, and no more rusted bolts to contend with
• Eliminates costly field work needed to "customize" the frames for specific building configurations
• End walls are furnished in a variety of configurations, again with the flexibility to meet any need
• Economical savings on material costs and allows the end user to save on heating and cooling costs
