The term “post-frame building system” refers to a building erected with structural frames of wood posts as columns and trusses or rafters for roof framing. Post-frame buildings are engineered for site and building requirements and through proper design and quality materials, they can be constructed to be as strong as a steel-frame building. This course covers the attributes, construction methods, materials, of post-frame building systems and their applications for low-rise commercial buildings.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Define post-frame construction, its components and its benefits in terms of design and construction flexibility.
- Describe the post-frame construction methods.
state the factors that combine to contribute to the durability, strength and energy efficiency of post-frame construction.
