Cee Channel and Super-Channel Steel Building Foundations 20’ to 60’ wide are diaphragm braced, eliminating virtually all the uplift associated with “X” bracing, especially when improperly located.
The lower uplift load reduces the size of the upper “uplift” beam bars in the slab and reduces the amount of concrete “ballast” required, substantially.
The package price is hard to beat. Its environmentally sensitive – which means it can be installed in conservation areas, high water-tables, or rock, and it’s installed by the end user.
