Introduction Dear Valued Customer, Welcome to the Albion Sections Technical Manual. Our latest brochure is the result of advancements made in our ongoing Development Program. Driven by commercial economy and using the higher grade S450 material, extensive full scale testing has been undertaken at Birmingham University, under the supervision of Dr Jian Yang. Although section depths remain the same, some flange widths have been reduced, to provide a more efficient strength/weight ratio. This, coupled with relatively minor changes to our standard sleeve details, provides a better cost effective solution. Additional gauges are now incorporated within our range, keeping Albion Sections as the cold rolled solution providing the largest choice of economically designed sections available. The standard zed and lipped channel section range offers products from 120mm to 400mm deep and 1.2mm to 3.2mm thick. Due to investment in state of the art rolling and punching facilities we are able to offer a solution using both M12 and M16 bolts, with you, the customer, able to specify your preference in bolt diameter in sections up to 245mm deep. Our fully dynamic pre-punch facilities also provide alternatives when considering non standard details, when using specialised cladding systems and in and around door and window openings. We at Albion are proud of our market leading delivery commitment. Planned expenditure this year has been commissioned and will provide an additional 6000 tonnes of capacity at our headquarters here in West Bromwich. We also offer a full manufacturing facility in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. This facility, opened January 2009, has capacity to support the comprehensive Albion range independently. The Albion Sigma Purlin System, launched early 2009, provides a purlin solution with a high strength/weight ratio and reduced accessory requirements. Our market leading stud and track system provides effective options for infill panelling and specialised rainscreen claddings. We also offer design, detailing and installation of the system via our Associate Companies. Our in-house designers and sales personnel will be happy to discuss particular projects. Brochure and software downloads, together with further information about Albion Sections, can be found at www.albionsections.co.uk We encourage any feedback regarding the experience of choosing Albion products; please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your interest in Albion Sections. Yours Sincerely,

John Jones

eaves beam systems Albion Sections eaves beams have been designed symmetrically so that they can be used in many different situations. They can be effectively used as gutter supports, parapet rails, fixed in pairs as compound beams or valley beams, column ties and wall restraints.

single span with staggered sleeve arrangement

single/double span with staggered sleeve arrangement

The sleeved system is the most popular and widely specified system for buildings of 2 bays or more. It provides a cost effective solution combined with ease of detailing to many building designs.

double span butt joint system (purlins & rails) The double span butt joint system is not as efficient in load carrying capacity when compared to the sleeved system, however, when load criteria allows choice of system then this is the more cost effective, saving on component parts and site erection time.

single span butted system (purlins & rails) The single span butted purlin/rail (non continuous system) is the most simple of all the systems. Used generally for shorter spans or where lighter loads apply as in agricutural buildings. It is economical, easily detailed and purlins can be fitted either over the rafters or between the rafter webs.

This method gives a vertical member to which the horizontal cladding is fixed and also acts as a side rail support. Note: If four or more rows of vertical rails are used per bay additional diagonal tie wires may be required. Details shown are diagramatic only, both vertical and horizontal rails can be either zed or channel sections. Fixing cleats to vertical rails can be pre-fabricated to suit hole patterns and spot welded to vertical rails on request. Cleats are fabricated from 3mm thick galvanized mild steel.

use of vertical rails This method employs vertical rails spanning between a structural top and bottom member. The rails should be fixed as opposing pairs and side rail supports fixed between the pairs at mid or third points (dependant on span). The vertical rails should be selected from the single span load tables. If height to eaves exceeds available rail capacity additional structural rail supports should be provided or horizontal and vertical rail system used.

eaves beams/gutter detail

1 typical exposed eaves gutter detail

Eaves beams can be fixed as shown in typical corner detail outside the stanchion, or alternatively inside the stanchion when the cladding needs to be flush. In either case a minimum clearance is required of 6mm between eaves beams outside stanchions and 3mm each end when fitted inside. Load tables should be consulted for purlin and eaves beam capacity, and eaves strut requirements, ie mid span or third points.

eaves strut eaves beam cleat supplied by others

side rail supports

Note: Where there is only one row of rails to the side of the building, special side rail supports can be used to hang from the eaves member. If the rails are being hung from a cold rolled eaves beam then the capacity needs to be checked for extra load. Eaves struts are required on spans 4m and above

to resist twisting from combined loads of gutter weight and wind.

When gutter straps are fitted to the top flange of eaves purlin additional bracing is required to prevent excessive torsion. In most cases side rail supports acting as struts at mid or third points are sufficient, however, depending on design criteria such
