    These design notes are a reference supplement to the CISC continuing education course on “Industrial Building Design”. They contain the slides shown during the lectures, together with a design example for a typical mill building. This publication is part of a continuing effort by CISC to provide practical information to assist building designers in the efficient and economical use of structural steel.

    The notes illustrate the limit states design of a single-storey industrial building. They refer extensively to the National Building Code of Canada 2005 (NBC 2005) and to CAN/CSAS16.1-05 “Limit States Design of Steel Structures” including the S16.1-05 Supplement, with emphasis on the applicability to typical Industrial buildings. In addition, there are references to the CISC Crane-Supporting Steel Structures: Design Guide, 3nd Edition and various AISC publications.

    The example industrial building comprises common structural steel components used in roof and wall framing, such as roof trusses, crane runway beams, segmented columns, wall systems and standing seam roof systems. The building also serves to illustrate the design of a steel braced frame to resist wind and seismic loads, in accordance with NBC 2005 and S16-01.

    These design notes focus on various design and construction topics, including; loads and load combinations, companion action approach, notional loads, vibration and fatigue, diaphragms, connections, foundations, coatings and corrosion considerations, low temperature toughness, rehabilitation, fire considerations and construction issues.
