Metal Building Systems Manual, 2024 Edition

The Metal Building Systems Manual is a practical and comprehensive resource for metal building design. The 2024 Metal Building Systems Manual brings the publication into conformance with the 2024 International Building Code (IBC), its referenced standards (i.e. ASCE 7-22), and common industry practices. The 2024 edition includes:

• Step-by-step examples for calculating wind, tornado, and snow design loads per the 2024 International Building Code (IBC) and referenced ASCE 7 standard, along with designing roof drainage systems for metal buildings, per the 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC).
• A guide for the determination of loads for metal buildings with bridge, monorail, jib and single-leg gantry for underhung and top-running cranes.
• Recommended drift and deflection criteria for the design of metal buildings that use masonry, metal and other wall systems, including manufacturing and erection tolerances.
• Information on wind, snow, and rainfall design, based on the 2024 IBC, ASCE 7, USGS and NOAA data.
• New appendices on large doors, bulk grain loads, and hail.
