Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Don't Take the Manufacturer's Word for It! Everybody knows about pre-engineered buildings - they now account for almost 70 percent of all new low-rise construction in the United States. But few architects, engineers, or buyers know enough about them. This completely revised and updated reference - the only one from an author unaffiliated with an industry trade group - offers valuable and unbiased information that can save you money and time - and that may even save your building! Full of essential features, tips, and advice, this new Second Edition includes nearly twice the amount of material and illustrations that was in the first edition.It: goes beyond manufacturer-supplied information in pinpointing potential design pitfalls; points out specific recurring problems of metal building systems and explains how failures can occur; updates recent changes in the building codes and the MBMA manual; offers practical information on the design of cold-formed purlins and girts, exposing questionable methods used by some manufacturers; includes greatly expanded coverage of purlin bracing; supplies a wealth of hard-to-find information on selecting and specifying walls (including problems with specific wall systems); explains critical considerations for MBS foundations not covered in manufacturers' specifications; includes several new design examples dealing with selection of primary framing, preliminary design of purlins, girts, and eave struts, design of moment-resisting building foundations, plus a comprehensive case study of additions to existing buildings. This title also: lays out new information on renovation of primary frames, secondary members, roofing, and walls; adds a wealth of information on metal roofing including best-practice design details; supplies new end-of-chapter review questions; and, provides roof-to-foundation understanding of all metal building design tasks involved in specifying or evaluating metal building systems. Plus, this book gives you sample specifications that protect the buyer, help with avoiding construction problems, sources of additional useful information, renovation tips, and a look at leading-edge industry trends.

The 2009 Report on Prefabricated Metal Building Systems Excluding Farm Service Buildings, Residential Buildings, and Parts: World Market Segmentation by City Sale Price: $795.00   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market. In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another. In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world's major cities for "prefabricated metal building systems excluding farm service buildings, residential buildings, and parts" for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales.

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Institutional, Medical, and Religious Prefabricated Metal Building Systems Excluding Farm Service Buildings, Residential Buildings, and Parts in Greater China Sale Price: $495.00   Eligible for free shipping! Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for institutional, medical, and religious prefabricated metal building systems excluding farm service buildings, residential buildings, and parts across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang - Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as "regions"). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of "economic population", as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this "economic" definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city's marketing and distribution value vis-a-vis others. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
