Metal Building Basics

Introduction

STEEL is the primary element in the construction of Metal Buildings.  The advantage of steel is its strength.  The material, as it comes from the mills, has very exacting specifications, enabling engineers to design structures with a high degree of accuracy.  Steel is plentiful, recyclable and a well accepted material.  It has a high degree of workability because it can be cut, welded, shaped and formed to meet a great variety of needs.  Steel can also take a great deal of abuse and wear.

The following information is provided as a general guide only.  It is not a complete study of Metal Building technology, but a basic outline to help you understand some of the terms and words used in the Metal Building Industry.
