[email protected], [email protected] K-SPAN BUILDING
K-SPAN building (fig.9-8)are a new form of construction. The
intended uses of these buildings are for open storage; however,
these building can be designed for use as office spaces, hangars,
supple buildings, medical facilities, and more permanent
structures. It is a self- contained, metal building manufacturing
plant(Automatic Building Machine) mounted on a trailer, forming a
type of mobile factory. There are two types of K-SPAN building
machines, as shown in figures 9-9 and 9-10: the MIC 120 and the MIC
240 (Super Span). An interesting aspect of this machine is that it
can be easily transported by air anywhere in the world. The ABM
System has already been certified for air transport by the U.S. Air
Force in C-130, C-141, and C-5 aircraft. K-SPAN Buildings

[email protected], largespangro[email protected] Training Training
personnel in the operation of all related K-SPAN equipment is
essential. The formal training of K-SPAN construction is held at
both NCRs. Crew members and leaders, once trained, can instruct
other members of the crew in the safe fabrication and erection of a
K-SPAN. Each regiment has personnel certified by LARGE SPAN GROUP
Industries to instruct this training. The training provided to you
is not to be taken as the absolute and only way to construct the
K-SPAN. As in the case of most construction procedures, there are
several different ways to accomplish the task. Crew size,
experience, and type of equipment available may alter the way you
perform the task; however, you should achieve the same end results.
Table below shows the personnel and skills required to erect this
building. PERSONNEL SKILL REQUIREMENTS ENGINEER (Not required on a
full-time basis) May be required to engineer and design foundation
and special applications PROJECT MANAGER OR CREW LEADER Oversees
all phases of construction including machinery transportation and
operations. Maintains working knowledge of all tools, equipment,
and building construction. Must also be familiar with the ABM
machinery. Knows and enforces all SAFETY rules and regulations
TRUCK/CRANE OPERATOR Loads material onto machine and transport
equipment. Places arched panels on foundations. Tows machinery
between jobsites. Make sure machinery is in proper working order
and is certified in crane operation. Complies with all SAFETY
procedures. WELDER Must have a working knowledge of welding,
cutting, and fabrication of light steel. Must be familiar with
welder/generator operations and maintenance. CONSTRUCTION MECHANIC

[email protected], [email protected] Operating
Instructions The main component of the K-SPAN system is the
trailer-mounted building machine (fig. 9-12). This figure shows the
main components of the trailer and general operating instructions.
The primary position of the operators station is located at the
rear of the trailer. The crew member selected for this position
must have a thorough understanding of the machine operations and
manuals. From that position, the operator controls all the elements
required to form the panels. The operator must remain at the
controls at all times. From the placement of the trailer on site to
the completion of the curved panel, attention to detail is
paramount as with all aspects of construction. As you operate the
machine, you will be adjusting the various machine-operating
components. Adjustment for the thickness, the radius, and the
curving machine MUST be made according to the manuals. Do not
permit shortcuts in adjustments. Any variations in adjustments, or
disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals, will
leave you with a pile of useless material or an inconsistent
building. Trailer-mounted machinery

[email protected], [email protected] Foundation The design
of the foundation for a K-SPAN building depends on the size of the
building (MIC120 or MIC240), the existing soil conditions, and the
wind load. The foundation must be approved by a certified engineer.
The foundations for the buildings are easy to construct when you
have the right equipment and crew. The roof and wall loads are
transferred to the foundation through the base of each arch.
Therefore, all loads are uniformly carried down each sidewall by
continuous strip footing. The foundations are more economical than
foundations of more convention buildings. The concrete forms and
accessories provide sufficient material to form the foundations for
a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide. When a different
configuration is required, forms are available from LARGE SPAN
GROUP. The actual footing construction is based, as with all
projects, on the plans and specifications. The location of the
forms, the placement of steel, and the psi (pounds per square inch)
of the concrete is critical. The building panels are welded to the
angle in the footer before concrete placement. Because of this
operation, all aspects of footer construction must be completely
checked for alignment and squareness. Once concrete is placed,
there is no way to correct errors. As mention above, forms are
provided for the foundation. Using table 9-4 as a guide, figure
10-13 gives you a simple foundation layout by parts designation. As
noted in figure 9-13, the cross pipes are not provided in the kit.
They must be ordered when the project is being planned and
estimated.

[email protected], [email protected] Building Erection
With the placement of the machinery and forming of the building
panels in progress, your next considerations are the placement and
the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane. Check the
weight-lifting chart of the crane for its maximum weight capacity.
This dictates the number of panels (recommend 5/ABM 120 and
3/ABM240) you can safely lift at the operating distance. As with
all crane operations, attempting to lift more than the rated
capacity can cause the crane to turn over. Attaching the spreader
bar (fig.9-14) to the curved formed panels is a critical step;
failure to clamp the panels tightly can cause the panels to slip
and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panels.
With the guide ropes attached (fig 9-15) and personnel manning
these ropes, lift the panels for placement. When the panels are
lifted, lift only as high as necessary, position two men at each
free and to guide the panels in place, and remind crew members to
keep their feet from under the ends of the arches. You must never
attempt to lift sets of panels in winds exceeding 20 mph. Place the
first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and
position them so there will be room for the end-wall panels. After
the first set of panels are positioned, clamp them to the angle,
plumb with guide ropes, and secure the ropes to previously anchored
stakes. Detach the spreader bar and continue to place the panel
sets. Seam each set to the standing panels before detaching the
spreader bar. After about 15 panels (three sets) are in place,
measures the building length at both ends (just above forms) and at
the center of the arch. This measurement will seldom be exactly 1
foot per panel (usually slightly more), but should be equal for
each panel. Adjust the ends to equal the center measure. Panels are
flexible enough to adjust slightly. Check these measurements
periodically during building construction. Since exact building
lengths are difficult to predict, the end wall attaching angle on
the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until
all panels are set. After the arches are in place, set the longest
end-wall panel in the form, then plumb and clamp it in place. Work
from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb.
When all the building panels are welded to the attaching angle
(fig. 9-16) at 12 inches on center, you are ready to place the
concrete. When the concrete is placed, remember it is extremely
important that it is well-vibrated. This helps eliminate voids
under all embedded items. As the concrete begins to set, slope the
top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches (fig. 9-17)
to allow water to drain away from the building. The elevation and
type of interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of
the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete
cap.

[email protected], [email protected] Construction Details
The K-SPAN building system is similar to other types of
pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows, doors,
and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed.
When insulation of the building is required, insulation boards
(usually 4 by 8 feet) maybe of any semirigid material that can be
bent to match the radius of the building. The insulation is
installed using clips, as shown in figure 9-18. When the integrity
of the end-wall panels is continuous from the ground to the roof
line, the end wall become self-supporting. The installation of
windows (fig. 9-19) and aluminum doors (fig. 9-20) presents no
problem since the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted.
The installation of the overhead door (fig. 9-21) does present a
problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system.
This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and
adjustable (height and width) doorframe package that supports both
the door and end wall. This doorframe package is offered by the
manufacture. Construction Details

[email protected], [email protected] Finish of Project
When all the panels are in place and secured to the base angle, the
next step is optional. Apply a rubberized coat of paint to the base
of the panels (interior/exterior) to a height slightly above the
finish concrete. This gives added protection to the mental panels
exposed to the concrete. Finally, place the concrete (fig. 9-22)
into the above grounded foundation forms. Take care not to slash
excessive amounts of concrete above the rubberized paint line.

[email protected], [email protected] ABM240 There is
another type of K-SPAN building, actually referred to as a Super
Span by LARGE SPAN GROUP, the ABM240. Actual construction of the
ABM240 is the same as that for the ABM120 (K-SPAN). It can use
heavier coil stock and is a larger version. Figure 9-24 shows the
difference between the two. Figure 9-25 shows the differences in
crew size due in large part to the heavier gauge steel required by
the ABM240. Keep in mind that the information provided in this
section on the K-SPAN building is basic. During the actual
construction of this building, you must consult LARGE SPAN GROUPs
complete set of manuals.

[email protected], [email protected] TOWERS AND BUNKERS
TOWERS are framework structures designed to provide vertical
support. They may be used to support another structure, such as a
bridge, or they may be used to support a piece of equipment, such
as a communication antenna or for a lookout post or weapon mounts.
Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support
for a load applied at the top, the compression members, providing
this support, are the only ones that require high-structural
strength. The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the
vertical members and to prevent bending under load. Primarily, the
bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based
on a series of diagonals.
