Nucor Building Systems Framing Types |
|
Clearspan
- Rigid Frame, Gable (RCG)
|
 |
This
tapered member frame is typically used in clearspan situations from 40 feet to 150
feet. It can be either gable or
single slope. Common roof
slopes of 1/4 to 4 in 12 are
offered.
When large clearspan
areas are required for special
industrial and commercial |
 |
projects, the Clearspan frame type is typically
the economical choice. The Clearspan can be
used with either cold-form purlins or open web joists. |
|
Clearspan
- Rigid Frame, Single Slope (RCS)
|
|
This tapered member frame is
typically used in clearspan situations from 40 feet to 150
feet. Common roof slopes of
1/4 to 4 in 12 are offered. When
large clearspan areas are required for special
industrial and commercial
projects, the Clearspan frame |
 |
| type is typically the economical choice. A single slope rigid frame is commonly used on retail centers or as a creative way of adding to an existing structure.
The Clearspan can be used with either cold-form purlins or open web joists. |
|
Modular
- Rigid Frame, Gable (RMG)
|
|
The solid web rigid frame with interior columns provides multiple spans on wider buildings. It can be either
gable or single slope. This
frame type is economical with
individual spans of 40 feet
to 80 feet and building widths from 80
feet to 300 feet plus. |
 |
Roof slopes are 1/4 to 1 in 12. The Modular frame can be used with either cold-form purlins
or open web joists. |
|
Lean-to (LCS)
|
|
The Lean-to frame joins to and
is supported by a main building
frame. Common spans are
20 feet to 60 feet.
The lean-to differs from the
single slope
in that it must be
supported on the high side by
an adjoining building column. |
 |
|
Tapered Beam (TCG)
|
|
This
straight column rigid frame is designed for maximum efficiency
of interior space. It is suitable for all types of small
buildings that require clearspans from 20 feet to 60 feet.
Roof slopes of 1/4 to 1 in 12 are available. The Tapered
Beam |
 |
| frame is ideal for partitioning interior bays and small
crane support systems. |
