A 12 cell (16'x16') workshop for prototyping and production runs of open source ecology machines

Steps taken to recycle and use a roof structure built as a prototype are shown on the OSE Shop 2011/OSE Mill Shed 2011 page.

Technical Notes

Roof Tie

The use of Simpson Strong Tie model 2.5 can bind the roof panels to the rafter boards in such a way as to bind the roof to the rafters. We will use 100 of them, tying all of the edges and middles of the roof boxes to the rafters.

Foundations

The site is a heavy clay soil with a calculated bearing capability of between 1000 and 4000 pounds per square foot. The foundation design goal is to bring the building static load below 1000 PSF, so that the possible live load (gantry crane loaded, snow on the roof) even doubling the load will keep the foundation pressure beneath 2000 PSF.
