The MBMA Metal Building Systems Manual incorporates the results of research undertaken by MBMA, its member companies and other industry groups. In many respects, it reflects refinement and advances in the knowledge of load application methods and design. This edition of the Metal Building Systems Manual replaces the 2002 edition, and its release coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Metal Building Manufacturers Association. Most municipalities in the United States have now adopted a building code. In the past, where a building code did not govern the design, the recommended loads in the MBMA Low-Rise Building Systems Manual (the predecessor to the Metal Building Systems Manual) were often specified. In recognition of the decreased need for MBMA loads, the Metal Building Systems Manual now focuses on how to apply the loads specified by the International Building Code and ASCE 7. Although the information in the new manual can be applied to low-rise buildings in general, it concentrates on issues related to design, code compliance and specification of metal building systems. Use of this manual is totally voluntary. Each building manufacturer or designer retains the prerogative to choose its own design and commercial practices and the responsibility to design its building systems to comply with applicable specifications and safety considerations. Although every effort has been made to present accurate and sound engineering and design information, MBMA assumes no responsibility whatsoever for the application of this information to the design or construction of any specific building system. MBMA expressly disclaims all liability for damages of any sort whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising out of the use, reference to, or reliance on this manual or any of its contents.
