At
Razor Component
Systems, Inc., (RCS), we design your buildings from Top to Bottom insuring that all components are
designed to carry all design dead and live loads. When RCS is supplying the
complete manufactured component-framing package, there is only one company
involved in the component design process eliminating chances for errors or
omissions.
All
wall panels; roof and floor trusses are manufactured in our plants in accordance
to the shop drawings that have been prepared by RCS’s design team with
the assistance of highly specialized CAD software.
Please Note that Metal
plate connected (MPC) wood trusses are designed as individual structural
building elements, not as roof or floor systems.
The suitability and
use of the components provided for this building design is the responsibility of
the building designer, owner, or contractor. (See ANSI/TPI 1-1995 Section 8.1.5
adopted by ICBO, SBCCI or BOCA.)
The building
designer, owner, contractor and/or truss installer shall specify permanent
lateral bracing where indicated by the Truss Design Drawings to prevent buckling
of the individual truss members due to design loads.
The Building
Designer shall specify how the permanent lateral bracing is to be anchored or
restrained to prevent lateral movement if all truss members, so braced, buckle
together, This shall be accomplished by (a) anchorage to solid end walls; (b)
permanent diagonal bracing in the plane of the web members; or (c) other means
when demonstrated by the Building Designer to provide equivalent bracing.
(See ANSI/TPI 1-1995 Section 8.1.5 adopted by ICBO, SBCCI or BOCA.)
The general contractor, builder, and/or installer
shall determine and install temporary bracing for the structure, including the
Trusses. (See ANSI/TPI 1-1995 Section 8.1.6 adopted by ICBO,SBCCI or BOCA.)
The general
contractor, builder, and/or installer shall comply with the field storage,
handling, installation, permanent bracing, anchorage, connections and field
assembly requirements of the Construction Design Documents.
(See ANSI/TPI 1-1995
Section 8.1.6 adopted by ICBO, SBCCI or BOCA.)
