Economy of Framing Systems. Figure 4-1 is presented to
provide planning guidance for the structural steel requirements in a Type I
hangar and in selecting a primary structural system. The figure, developed from
the review of recently designed facilities, displays trends with which the designer
should become familiar.
The designer is cautioned that the figure is a simplification of the
existing background information. The information presented is based upon the
assumption that a standard Type I Maintenance Hangar is being produced. It
has been further assumed that the hangar bay space is approximately 30 m
(85 feet) deep and that the design conditions are as found in Norfolk, VA. Figure
4-1 presents estimated cost based on the pounds per square foot of structural
steel required to construct a facility of approximately 7200 m2 (77000 ft2) total
area. The figures represent an average cost, including both the hangar (OH)
area and the office and shop (O1/O2) areas. It is assumed that the ratio between
OH and O1/O2 areas remains relatively constant in all Type I facilities.
The graphical representation provided by Figure 4.1 shows an
economical comparison of alternative structural framing systems for planning
purposes. The project planning/design team should carefully evaluate the roof
structural framing systems and optimize the design selected considering the
long-term interest of the airfield mission.
NOTE: When generating cost estimates of low bay-type I / high bay-type II single
module versus multiple module and the differences associated with the primary
roof framing system, please contact the NAVFAC Engineering Innovation and
Criteria Office for additional guidance when preparing MCON 1391
documentation.
