Gentlemen:
In accordance with purchase order documents, the referenced structure has been designed to withstand the loads as
listed. The loads were applied as recommended by the Standard Building Code, Southern Building Code
Congress International, Incorporated, 1991 Edition. In addition to the dead load of the building components, the
design loads are as follows:
ROOF LIVE LOAD
Primary Framing 12 psf
Secondary Framing 20 psf
GROUND SNOW LOAD 0 psf
Exposure Factor NA
WIND SPEED
110 mph
Exposure Factor
C
SEISMIC ZONE
0
COLLATERAL LOAD
0 psf
BUILDING USE CATEGORY I
The building was designed in accordance with design specifications in the Ninth Edition of AISC Manual of Steel
Construction and the 1986 Edition with 1989 Addendum of the AISI. Gulf States Manufacturers, Inc. is an
approved manufacturer in the AISC Quality Certification Program in the category of Metal Building Systems.
The design of accessories such as doors, windows, translucent panels, louvers and ventilators are not included with
respect to properties or use regardless of their source. Other parts of the project such as the foundation, existing
buildings, masonry walls, mechanical equipment and erection of the building components are not part of the
design by Gulf States Manufacturers, Inc. Effects on the building due to the excluded items that fail to withstand
their required loads are not covered in this letter.
The building components should be erected in accordance with the referenced job number erection drawings on a
properly designed foundation with anchor bolts of the diameter(s) and yield strength shown on the Gulf States
anchor bolt plan. Field inspection of materials which are provided by Gulf States is the responsibility of the
erector and/or overall project professionals. The foundation designer will find the column reactions with the
referenced job anchor bolt setting plans.
To the best of my knowledge this design conforms with the load requirements of the building code and purchase
order documents as previously stated. The undersigned is not the engineer for the overall project.
Sincerely:
GULF STATES MANUFACTURERS, INC.
