Objectives • Identify and describe the characteristics of the 4 major building types used in agriculture. • Describe primary building structural components. • Describe the types of loads acting on buildings. • Interpret building plans. • Perform basic design calculations.
Major Building Types used in Agriculture • Stud Frame Construction • Pole (or post) Frame Construction • Rigid Arch Construction • Masonry Construction

Primary Building Components Roof: Weather protection.Lateral support of exterior walls. Walls:Weather protection.Support vertical loads.Resist lateral loads. Foundation and Footing:Transfer all structural loads to soil.Soil: Supports all building loads. p. 65 of text.

Stress, Strain and Building Loads Stress vs. Strain Types of Stress Hooke’s Law Structural Loads
Strain Stress Stress vs. Strain
Hooke’s Law Strain is proportional to stress within the elastic limits of a material.
Types of Building Loads • Dead load • Weight of building materials. • Live loads • Moveable load – Building contents that can move but are generally stationary for extended periods. • Moving load – Building contents that move often. • Snow load – Vertical load from weight of snow on roof. • Wind load – Pressure acting on roof and walls due to horizontal wind.
A well-designed and constructed farm building will: • Withstand all “normal” loads without structural failure. • Be as economical as possible (but no more than possible!) • Efficiently serve its intended function • Have capacity for expansion • Be integrated into existing and intended facilities plan
How can you ensure proper building design and construction? • Contractor • Reputable • Licensed / Bonded • Self • Use pre-engineered packages • Follow engineering plans from reputable source • Consult with professional engineer as necessary
