| Structural Mezzanine (4) |
This structural mezzanine is being used to create a separate workspace inside this Midwest manufacturing facility. The modular walls seen in this photograph were also supplied by Porta-King. The modular walls are tied into the decking of the structural mezzanine to create a tight seal around the perimeter of this enclosure. In addition to supporting the modular walls, this structural mezzanine also supports the clear span ceiling system and a roof- mounted crane that is used to move heavy material in and out of the enclosure.
The standard design of our mezzanines is IBC compliant. The IBC (International Building Code) is the combined effort of three model code groups, and is intended to be a comprehensive set of regulations for building systems consistent with and inclusive of the latest existing codes. The IBC 2000 requires structures, including structural steel mezzanines, to be designed to resist the strongest seismic forces in a much larger portion of the continental US than previous national model building codes. PK Structures lead the mezzanine industry by creating standard designs that are IBC compliant.
As a standard a PK Structures mezzanine will utilize modified Type 1 or Type 3 AISC designs for beam to column connections. PK Structures utilize these designs to achieve code compliance without the need of knee bracing or cross bracing to achieve the necessary seismic resistance. The use of knee bracing or cross bracing for mezzanine construction can greatly reduce the useable space underneath the mezzanine deck.
