SB-11 Construction of Farm Buildings Section 1 General

(1) This Section applies to farm buildings of low human occupancy.

(1) The construction of farm buildings of low human occupancy shall, subject to Article 2.1.3.5. in Division B of the Building Code, conform to the requirements of Part 9 of Division B of the Building Code except as provided in this Section.

(1) Except as permitted by Article 1.2.2., lumber shall conform to appropriate requirements in Subsection 9.3.2. of Division B of the Building Code.

(1) Ungraded lumber may be used for wood posts, joists, rafters, lintels, beams and wall studs in a farm building of low human occupancy of not more than one storey in building height. (2) Ungraded lumber means lumber that has not been grade-stamped to indicate its grade, as determined by the NLGA “Standard Grading Rules for Canadian Lumber (Interpretation Included)”, but that meets the following visual attributes: (a) it is rough sawn to full nominal size, (b) it has no evidence of decay, (c) it has no tight knots that exceed 25 percent of the cross section and that are spaced closer than 150 mm on centres, (d) it has no loose knots or holes that exceed 25 percent of the cross section and that are spaced closer than 600 mm on centres, (e) it has the slope of grain not exceeding 1 (vertical) in 4 (horizontal), and (f) it is free of excessive warp.

(1) Except as provided in Articles 1.3.2. to 1.3.4., wood posts, joists, rafters, lintels, beams and wall studs shall be designed in conformance with Section 9.4. of Division B of the Building Code.

(1) In a farm building of low human occupancy, the size of wood posts shall conform to Tables 1.3.2.A. to 1.3.2.J. for the loads shown in the Tables.

(1) In a farm building of low human occupancy, the spans of wood joists, rafters, lintels and beams shall conform to the spans shown in Tables 1.3.3.K. to 1.3.3.T. for the loads shown in the Tables.

(1) In a farm building of low human occupancy, the size and spacing of wood studs shall conform to Tables 1.3.4.U. to 1.3.4.W. for the loads shown in the Tables. Page 2 • SB-11

(2) Posts shall be oriented with the long dimension parallel to the building width. (3) Bracing systems shall be specified by a competent designer. (4) Posts shall be situated on footings and shall be anchored to prevent wind uplift. (5) Posts shall be constrained against lateral movement at ground level and at the footing. Concrete floor, splash-rail and uplift anchor help to meet this condition. (6) Post designs are based on partial fixity condition due to embedment in soil. (7) Footing excavations should be backfilled with parent material unless otherwise specified by a competent designer.

Notes to Table 1.3.4.U.: (1) Designs are based on load combinations of total roof load and wind load acting at the same time on a closed building. (2) It is assumed that the double top plate is rigid enough to cause load sharing amongst all studs regardless of the spacing 406 mm or 610 mm. (3) Solid bridging shall be used on all walls as follows: ≤ 3.0 m: 1 row at mid-height. 3.6 m - 4.2 m: 2 rows at third-points. 4.8 m: 3 rows at quarter-points. (4) Wind bracing shall not impose additional bending forces onto the stud.

(2) All notes following Table 1.3.4.U. apply, with the following conditions/exceptions: • 14.6 kN/m loading: Full 4.8 m sidewall hay/straw storage space above. It is supported by beams spaced at 3.6 m o.c. The outside plate carries a 1.8 m floor width. If the loading is greater, refer to a qualified person for design. • 7.3 kN/m loading: Full 2.4 m sidewall hay/straw storage space above or a gambrel roof structure >9.14 m in total width. Floor support beams as above. • 3.6 kN/m loading: Small gambrel roof structure or storage space for light storage. Floor support beams as above. Page 20 • SB-11
