The type of foundation required for your steel building depends upon
geographical location, frame loads, local building codes, restrictions and architectural concerns. In rural areas, general
guidelines can be applied for a solid foundation to most metal buildings. Heartland Metals strongly recommends that
all building foundations, pier sizes, grade beams and floor slabs be designed for your building by a highly trained engineer.

Building Codes and Loads
Heartland Metals can design your steel I-beam building kit for any required
building codes. We can provide stamped and certified drawings by a registered engineer. Some areas do not require
that your steel building have stamped and certified plans, in which case we will apply engineering for your metal building
from historical data compiled for your county. Please call with any questions about the codes and loads in your
area. Pre-engineered buildings will meet all building codes.

Definitions
Floating Slab: Floating slabs consist of a concrete
slab, monolithically poured with a continuous grade beam. The graded beam is either spread directly under the
column or reinforced along the bottom to carry the vertical column loads. Pier/Footing/Grade Beam: Pier/Footing/Grade Beam consist of a square or rectangular footing
and a grade beam wall. A drilled pier may be utilized in lieu of the square or rectangular footing. Piers and
footings carry most of the vertical loads. Roof Load:
Any temporary load imposed on a metal building that is not wind load, snow load, seismic load or dead load. Wind Load: The forces imposed by the wind blowing from any direction. Exposure: How the metal building is exposed to wind. Seismic Load: The load or loads acting in any direction
on a structural system due to the action of an earth quake.
We have the tools to design, detail, and draw your pre-engineered
metal building. As we enter the data, our computer
program provides a drawing of the building shape and framing. This can be accomplished in a few minutes.
