Metal building system

摘要

A metal building system has frame elements covered and connected together by cladding panels. The frame elements have tapered, roll formed wall and roof beams that connect at the wide ends. The cladding panels have large corrugations across most of each panel for rigidity and small corrugations along the edges to allow for roll forming of flanges and for rain drainage. Purlins fastened to the inside of the wall and roof beams connect the frame elements and support insulation panels on the inside of the building system.

1. A metal building system comprising:
a plurality of longitudinally spaced frame elements each including two laterally spaced wall beams and two roof beams, each of said wall and roof beams having a tapering web with a wide end and a spaced narrow end, and an outer edge and a spaced inner edge, each of said wall and roof beams having a shaped outer flange along said outer edge of said web and shaped inner flange along said inner edge of said web, said wide end of said web of each said roof beam overlapping and connecting to said wide end of said web of one of said wall beams with said roof beams projecting upwardly and inwardly and being connected together at said narrow ends of said web, and cladding panels extending between said wall beams and between said roof beams of consecutive said frame elements, and mating with and being seamed to said outer flange on said wall beams and said roof beams, whereby said frame elements provide lateral rigidity and said cladding panels provide longitudinal rigidity.
