UFC 3-300-10N
25 May 2005
2-3.10.7 Where additions or interior modifications are to be made to an existing metal
building, the new construction must be separated from the existing structure, so that no
new loads are applied to the existing framing, unless the metal building was designed
for the additional loads, or the Structural Engineer determines by calculation that the
existing structure can safely support the superimposed loads.
2-3.10.8 The structural engineer of record must verify that under all loading conditions,
the loads imposed by the metal building system onto the foundation and anchor bolts do
not exceed the design capacity of the foundation system.
2-3.11
Delegate-Engineered Systems or Component Parts.
2-3.11.1 The engineer of record for a structure is responsible for all structural aspects
of the design of the structure including the design of all of the structure's systems and
components. The engineer of record for a structure may delegate responsibility for the
design of the following systems or component parts of the structure to a qualified
delegated engineer. Both the engineer of record for the structure and the delegated
engineer must comply with the requirements of this UFC.
a.
Prefabricated wood components
b.
Cast-in-place post-tensioned concrete structural systems
c.
Precast, prestressed concrete components
d.
Open web steel joists and joist girders
e.
Pre-engineered metal buildings
f.
Foundation systems
g.
Structural steel connections
h.
Cold-formed steel joist/stud/truss framing and pre-fabricated
components
i.
Seismic anchorage of equipment
j.
Proprietary track for under hung cranes and monorails
2-3.11.2 The structural construction documents must include the following:
a.
Complete dimensional information as required to design the system or
component part
b.
The nature, location, and magnitude of all design loads to be imposed
on the structure
c.
All design criteria for both the overall structure and the system or
component part to be designed by the delegated engineer
d.
All serviceability limit states that apply to the system or component part
to be designed by the delegated engineer
2-3.11.3 The delegated engineering submittals must include the following:
a.
Identification of the project
b.
A printed title block bearing the printed name, address, license number
of the delegated engineer, and the date of the drawing
