(1) A metal building system is defined as an integrated set of components and assemblies that are specifically designed to form a complete structural system. This typically includes primary framing comprised of constant depth or web-tapered structural steel frames, secondary members that are cold-formed steel or steel joists, a metal panel roof system and exterior wall cladding. These components and assemblies are manufactured in a manner that permits plant and/or field inspection prior to assembly or erection.
(2) Structural engineering documents prepared by the engineer of record shall reflect the design criteria for the metal building system as required in subsection 61G15-31.002(5), F.A.C. They shall indicate all openings, concentrated loads and other special requirements. Foundation conditions assumed in the design shall be indicated as well as the location and magnitude of building reactions on that foundation under all design conditions.
(3) The engineer of record may delegate responsibility of the design of the metal building system to a delegated engineer requiring submittal of structural delegated engineering documents.
(4) Structural delegated engineering documents shall identify the project and list loading and other design criteria. Structural delegated engineering documents shall include erection drawings which indicate in detail the construction of the structure used for the specific project. The structural delegated engineering documents shall indicate all connection details, openings and other special details. They shall show the magnitude and location of building reactions on the foundation under all design conditions. Calculations shall be provided, if requested by the engineer of record, to prove the design is in compliance with the written engineering requirements for the specific project. Structural delegated engineering documents shall bear the signature, date, and impressed seal of the Florida licensed delegated engineer.
