Visualizing Your Dream Pre-engineered Steel Building To plan a metal building, you first need to visualize the design. Standard designs assume a gable roof with a pitch of or less—the most economical steel building configuration.
Higher pitches and gable roofs are possible with custom orders. The finished size of the building will be somewhat larger, depending on the exterior finishing material chosen. Designs with greater heights are possible with custom orders. The Basic Box The basic box building seen at the center of the screen changes automatically as you feed in your specific building information.
Choose the Size Enter the width endwall , the length sidewall , and the eave height of your dream structure. Pick a Roof Select the gable roof pitch , overhangs , and steel roof color. Select Door Openings The drop-down list offers 25 different sizes of door openings.
Add Walk-in Doors and Gutters The drop-down list offers three standard sizes of walk-in doors , in two colors choices. Viewing Button The button in the lower left corner allows you to look your building design over from every perspective. The plans include diagrams and all the measurements for cutting out the material. DIY step-by-step instructions to build a single and double shed door. These shed door plans can easily be customized to fit most sheds.
With a little imagination a shed can be transformed into a playhouse, chicken coop, greenhouse, or home office. Before you even start looking at shed plans you will want to call your local building inspector to find out all the requirements.
It will be a bummer if you start building and get hit with a fine for not obtaining a permit. Or worse yet you need to tear down the shed because you are not even allowed to build one at all. Most areas will allow a square foot shed without having to file for a permit. Setback in my area was 6 feet from property lines or buildings. One of the main reasons many of us will ponder the idea of building our own shed is to remove some of the clutter from our home or garage.
When looking for free shed plans consider the design, do you want it to match your house? Or do you want something that blends into your landscape? Other things to consider are the height and width of the door. Make certain the door is wide enough and high enough if you are storing or moving large items. Next thing to do is finding a location keeping in mind any setback or other requirements your building department has. If you are handy using CAD software you can draw your own plans.

Shed Shed A shed is perhaps one of the most functional structures in your property. Building Permits Before you even start looking at shed plans you will want to call your local building inspector to find out all the requirements. Requirements such as size, width, height, design, and setback, will vary among localities.
Shed Ideas One of the main reasons many of us will ponder the idea of building our own shed is to remove some of the clutter from our home or garage. Sheds will also be built to make extra space for garden tools, office, or a workshop. Do you want something functional? In another recent study by Hosseini and Ghorbani Amirabad yielding-curved-bars and hemisphere core energy dissipating device has been suggested as the central support of repairable buildings with seesaw motion [12].
For this purpose in the last three mentioned studies a set of orthogonal strong girders, mostly of truss type, in the form of grid, has been used in the lowest floor of the building. In the present study two 5-story buildings, one of ordinary fixed base type and the other one with the proposed structural system having the capability of seesaw motion have been considered.
The number of bays in the considered building is four in both direction, and two bays at each side of the building have x-bracing to give enough stiffness to the superstructure to minimize its inter-story drifts. A major modification has been made in the yielding-plate energy dissipating devices to be installed at the bottom of all circumferential columns, which makes their manufacturing and installation much more practical, as illustrated in the following sections of the paper.
The Proposed Structural System with Seesaw Motion and Equipped with DADAS Energy Dissipaters In the proposed structural system for regular multistory steel buildings, creation of possibility of seesaw motion has been done by using a set of orthogonal truss girders pivoting on a huge central support at base level with a series of energy dissipating devices of DADAS type installed at the bottom of all circumferential columns at that level.
Figure 1 shows a frame of the proposed structural system with one of the truss girders pivoting on the central support, as well as a 3-D view of the considered 5-story building with the capability of seesaw motion considered in this study, which is called 'seesaw building' from now on.
In fact, for higher efficiency of the seesaw motion in decreasing the seismic response of the superstructure, it should be relatively stiff to facilitate limiting the inter-story drifts. Therefore, moment resisting frames does not seem to be appropriate for this purpose, and CBFs frames are considered in this study.
Energy dissipating devices installed at the bottom of all circumferential columns are of DADAS yielding-plate type, as shown in Figure 2. Special geometry of yielding plates causes the plastic deformation to develop in the majority of their body, leading to remarkable energy dissipation. To assess the realistic hysteretic force- displacement curve of the proposed DADAS devices, a powerful finite element FE program was used, and for verification of the numerical modeling process the results of cantilever beam in large plastic deformation were used as explained in the main report of the study Nejati [14].
After verification, by performing a set of FE analyses on DADAS devices with different sizes of plates their initial and post-yield secondary stiffness values as well as their yielding strength were obtained. The appropriate values of initial and secondary stiffness for the DADAS device may be found by a series of trial and error analysis for each building system. For this purpose, the DADAS devices can be modeled as the multi-linear plastic springs in the numerical model of the whole building structure.
Figure 3, which shows a section of the deformed shape of the DADAS device under axial load, and a sample of its hysteretic curves. The main hysteretic features of the device, namely its elastic and post-yielding stiffness values as well as its yield stress can be controlled by selecting appropriate values for the dimensions of the plates, as explained in the next section of the paper.
Nonlinear Time History Analyses of Ordinary and the Proposed Seesaw Buildings The sample building, considered in this study for showing the efficiency of the proposed structural system with seesaw motion in seismic response reduction, is a 5-story regular steel building with 4-bay by 4-bay square plan in which span length of all bays is 5. The building was designed once based on the conventional seismic design provisions UBC , and once by using the suggested seesaw system, using the trial and error scheme explained in the previous section.
The yielding and ultimate forces of the DADAS devices used in the seesaw building was finally chosen as and kgf, corresponding to displacement values of 1 and 10 cm respectively as given in Figure 4. Displacement -1 0 1 10 cm Force 0 kgf Fig.
The specifications of the selected earthquakes are given in Table 1, and a sample of their response spectra is shown in Figure 5. For this purpose the procedure of Iranian Standard No. Also the hysteretic force-displacement curves of the yielding dampers, which can show the energy dissipation capacity of the proposed system are included in results.
