The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) has released the 2010 Supplement to the 2006 MBMA Metal Building Systems Manual. This update integrates the 2009 edition of the International Building Code (IBC) into the manual, as well as updating many chapters and adding new information. The 2010 Supplement includes a new procedure for assessing longitudinal wind drag on open buildings as well as background information on the testing that led to this procedure. Other revisions and additions include, but are not limited to, a new seismic design example for metal buildings with concrete masonry walls (hardwalls), new Underwriters Laboratories (UL) fire resistance listings for head-of-wall (HOW) joints, information on the newly created International Accreditation Service, Inc. (IAS) AC472 inspection program for manufacturers of metal building systems, a discussion on one-sided welding, and an updated section on lightning protection.
