When designing our Buildings, American Steel has to take into consideration the Wind, Snow
and Seismic Loads required for the City, State and County in which the building will be constructed
In areas that recieve Heavy Snow, it is critical that we design the building to withstand the snow
that your building will encounter. We can design the building to withstand snow loads from as little as
5 pounds per square foot all the way up to 200 p.s.f. (and more)
Likewise, in areas that recieve Strong Wind Loads, it is also critical that we design the building
to withstand the strong winds the building will encounter. We usually design our buildings to
withstand a minimum of 90 miles per hour and go design your building up to 200 m.p.h. (and more)
The Third area that we take into consideration is the Seismic Zone. We have many buildings from
California to the Mississippi fault line that have been designed to meet the stringent earthquake
seismic zones set forth by their county.
We try our hardest to stay up to date with the current loads enforced by each state and county.
When requesting a building quote, it is oftentimes helpful if the customer double-checks
the Building Loads required by the County where they will be constructing their building.
