4.1.3 Construction Practices & Building Design
This plan provides reinforcing schedules for any horizontal dimension of rectangular tank. As well, designs are provided for the following depths of tank: 2450 mm (8'), 3050 mm (10') and 3650 mm (12').

This plan gives design details for a range of stud-frame farm storage buildings with concrete foundations and clear-span roof trusses. Building span may be 12, 15 or 18 m (40, 50 or 60 ft), depending on the local snow load.

This plan gives construction details and floor plan for a farm implement storage building 32 ft wide. The roof is supported with clear-span nailed lumber trusses, making it convenient to move machines in and out of storage.

Where buildings are clad inside with wide panel materials such as plywood or galvanized steel, horizontal wind effects can be most economically handled by the "diaphragm" action of the ceiling working together with the endwall and sidewall cladding.
Where buildings are clad inside with wide panel materials such as plywood or galvanized steel, horizontal wind effects can be most economically handled by the "diaphragm" action of the ceiling working together with the four walls.
This leaflet contains design information on plate beams and lintels for low-human-occupancy farm buildings. Plate beams are an important structural component of pole frame buildings.
This is a quick aid for selecting sawn and round poles and connections for low-hazard structures with a 1 in 3 sloped gable roof.
This plan is for stud-wall farm buildings having almost no resistance to overturning at the stud-to-foundation connection. These specifications will be over-safe if used with pole-frame walls because the poles add some overturning resistance.
Concrete retaining walls have limited application on most farms. Where they are used, however, proper design and construction will assure satisfactory performance.
A knee-brace system is a structural component that transfers wind pressures exerted on the sidewalls and roof of a farm building to its foundation.
This leaflet gives the size of wood purlins and rafters needed for low-human-occupancy farm buildings. Purlins are horizontal roof members that span the trusses or rafters and support the roof cladding.
This leaflet gives a listing of 15 designs for gambrel roof braced rafters which can be easily assembled on the farm or in a prefabricating plant. The gambrel roof form has retained its popularity with farmers and builders for several good reasons: -...
A truss rafter roof system, properly designed, fabricated, erected and braced, is a strong and economical way to frame a farm building roof. However, if the design assumptions are ignored during erection and bracing, the structure may collapse....
Agricultural structures often place severe conditions on concrete components. To obtain the best performing concrete for the job, it is important to know and ask for the required concrete specifications. Concrete mix design is a complex subject.
Metric construction is more than just a change in measurement system. It means building to certain modular metric dimensions (1200 mm and major fractions and multiples),
This bracing is used to connect the gable ends of the building securely to the main structure and distribute loads onto the supporting side walls.
The accompanying plan can be obtained through your local Ministry of Agriculture office.
