K-SPAN BUILDING
K-SPAN building (fig.9-8)are a new form of construction. The intended uses of these buildings are
for open storage; however, these building can be designed for use as office spaces, hangars, supple
buildings, medical facilities, and more permanent structures. It is a self- contained, metal building
manufacturing plant(Automatic Building Machine) mounted on a trailer, forming a type of "mobile
factory”. There are two types of K-SPAN building machines, as shown in figures 9-9 and 9-10: the MIC
120 and the MIC 240 (Super Span). An interesting aspect of this machine is that it can be easily
transported by air anywhere in the world. The ABM System has already been certified for air transport by
the U.S. Air Force in C-130, C-141, and C-5 aircraft.

Training
Training personnel in the operation of all related K-SPAN equipment is essential. The formal training
of K-SPAN construction is held at both NCRs. Crew members and leaders, once trained, can instruct other
members of the crew in the safe fabrication and erection of a K-SPAN. Each regiment has personnel
certified by LARGE SPAN GROUP Industries to instruct this training.
The training provided to you is not to be taken as the absolute and only way to construct the K-SPAN. As
in the case of most construction procedures, there are several different ways to accomplish the task. Crew
size, experience, and type of equipment available may alter the way you perform the task; however, you
should achieve the same end results. Table below shows the personnel and skills required to erect this
building.

Operating Instructions
The main component of the K-SPAN system is the trailer-mounted building machine (fig. 9-12). This
figure shows the main components of the trailer and general operating instructions. The primary position of
the operator's station is located at the rear of the trailer. The crew member selected for this position must
have a thorough understanding of the machine operations and manuals. From that position, the operator
controls all the elements required to form the panels. The operator must remain at the controls at all times.
From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panel, attention to detail is
paramount as with all aspects of construction.
As you operate the machine, you will be adjusting the various machine-operating components. Adjustment
for the thickness, the radius, and the curving machine MUST be made according to the manuals. Do not
permit shortcuts in adjustments. Any variations in adjustments, or disregard for the instructions found in the
operating manuals, will leave you with a pile of useless material or an inconsistent building.

Foundation
The design of the foundation for a K-SPAN building depends on the size of the building (MIC120 or
MIC240), the existing soil conditions, and the wind load. The foundation must be approved by a certified
engineer.
The foundations for the buildings are easy to construct when you have the right equipment and crew.
The roof and wall loads are transferred to the foundation through the base of each arch. Therefore, all loads
are uniformly carried down each sidewall by continuous strip footing. The foundations are more
economical than foundations of more convention buildings.
The concrete forms and accessories provide sufficient material to form the foundations for a building
100 feet long by 50 feet wide. When a different configuration is required, forms are available from
LARGE SPAN GROUP.
The actual footing construction is based, as with all projects, on the plans and specifications. The location
of the forms, the placement of steel, and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete is critical. The
building panels are welded to the angle in the footer before concrete placement. Because of this operation,
all aspects of footer construction must be completely checked for alignment and squareness. Once concrete
is placed, there is no way to correct errors.
As mention above, forms are provided for the foundation. Using table 9-4 as a guide, figure 10-13 gives
you a simple foundation layout by parts designation. As noted in figure 9-13, the cross pipes are not
provided in the kit. They must be ordered when the project is being planned and estimated.

Building Erection
With the placement of the machinery and forming of the building panels in progress, your next
considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane. Check the weight-lifting
chart of the crane for its maximum weight capacity. This dictates the number of panels (recommend 5/ABM
120 and 3/ABM240) you can safely lift at the operating distance. As with all crane operations, attempting to
lift more than the rated capacity can cause the crane to turn over.
Attaching the spreader bar (fig.9-14) to the curved formed panels is a critical step; failure to clamp the
panels tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panels.
With the guide ropes attached (fig 9-15) and personnel manning these ropes, lift the panels for placement.
When the panels are lifted, lift only as high as necessary, position two men at each free and to guide the
panels in place, and remind crew members to keep their feet from under the ends of the arches. You must
never attempt to lift sets of panels in winds exceeding 20 mph.
Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position them so there will be
room for the end-wall panels. After the first set of panels are positioned, clamp them to the angle, plumb
with guide ropes, and secure the ropes to previously anchored stakes. Detach the spreader bar and continue
to place the panel sets. Seam each set to the standing panels before detaching the spreader bar.
After about 15 panels (three sets) are in place, measures the building length at both ends (just above
forms) and at the center of the arch. This measurement will seldom be exactly 1 foot per panel (usually
slightly more), but should be equal for each panel. Adjust the ends to equal the center measure. Panels are
flexible enough to adjust slightly. Check these measurements periodically during building construction.
Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict, the end wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the
building should not be put in place until all panels are set.
After die arches are in place, set the longest end-wall panel in the form, then plumb and clamp it in
place. Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb.
When all the building panels are welded to the attaching angle (fig. 9-16) at 12 inches on center, you are
ready to place the concrete. When the concrete is placed, remember it is extremely important that it is well-
vibrated. This helps eliminate voids under all embedded items. As the concrete begins to set, slope die top
exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches (fig. 9-17) to allow water to drain away from the building.
The elevation and type of interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher
than the top of the concrete cap.

Construction Details
The K-SPAN building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in
that windows, doors, and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed. When insulation
of the building is required, insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) maybe of any semirigid material that can
be bent to match the radius of the building. The insulation is installed using clips, as shown in figure 9-18.
When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from the ground to the roof line, the end wall
become self-supporting. The installation of windows (fig. 9-19) and aluminum doors (fig. 9-20) presents
no problem since the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted. The installation of the overhead door
(fig. 9-21) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system. This situation is
quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (height and width) doorframe package that
supports both the door and end wall. This doorframe package is offered by the manufacture.

Finish of Project
When all the panels are in place and secured to the base angle, the next step is optional. Apply a
rubberized coat of paint to the base of the panels (interior/exterior) to a height slightly above the finish
concrete. This gives added protection to the mental panels exposed to the concrete.
Finally, place the concrete (fig. 9-22) into the above grounded foundation forms. Take care not to
slash excessive amounts of concrete above the rubberized paint line.
Figure 9-23 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-SPAN from start to finish.

SPAN). It can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version. Figure 9-24 shows the difference between the
two. Figure 9-25 shows the differences in crew size due in large part to the heavier gauge steel required by
the ABM240.
Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K-SPAN building is basic. During the
actual construction of this building, you must consult LARGE SPAN GROUP'S complete set of manuals.

TOWERS AND BUNKERS

TOWERS are framework structures designed to provide vertical support. They may be used to support
another structure, such as a bridge, or they may be used to support a piece of equipment, such as a
communication antenna or for a lookout post or weapon mounts. Since the prime purpose of a tower is to
provide vertical support for a load applied at the top, the compression members, providing this support, are
the only ones that require high-structural strength. The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the
vertical members and to prevent bending under load. Primarily, the bracing members are designed to take
loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals.
