General Trading & Contracting

Al-Othman & Al-Sadiq Co. General Trading & Contracting was established according to the
establishing contract number (17085) on 09/10/1991 and its following modifications with a paid up
capital of 500,000 K.D. (only five hundred thousand Kuwaiti Dinars). The company has obtained the
privilege as the manufacturer of the K-span metallic building system, and the product has been
registered at the ministry of commerce and industry under the name of (Al-Othman K-span). The
company achieved a distinguished success in producing this speedy, high-quality, and low-cost product,
which opened new perspectives in both the Kuwaiti and Gulf markets.
Since the local and gulf markets need it, we ordered the more advanced system (Super K-span)
which enables us to construct a building with a width of 40m. with no pillars and a height of 17m.
A new factory has been constructed to meet the need to produce this advanced and high-quality
system. Behind these successes was a successful national and manufacturing administration, and a
marketing administration having the necessary experience to market the product and to put plans to
achieve the specified goals.
The company has executed many government and private projects in all areas of Kuwait. These
projects are worth $7,500,000 per annum (only seven million five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars). We
hope that this number will double after the addition of the more advanced system (Super K-span).

INTRODUCTIO
(Why use K-Span System)?
ON-SITE MANUFACTURING:
-The K-SPAN factory can be taken directly to the construction site and the building is fabricated
completely on site. No shipping costs of building components from a fabrication shop.
-The K-SPAN system capable of producing buildings at the rate of 500 square meters per day.
-K-SPAN arches are designed to be totally self-supporting and do not require any support structure such
as needed in standard steel frame buildings. The arches formed by the K-SPAN system are used either
as a complete building, or as a roof over side walls. The self-supporting arches can span up to 25
meters. Clear width for K-Span system and up to 40 m for super K-Span system without any
intermediate support of columns, beams, or trusses.

NO WATERPROOFING REQUIRED:
K-SPAN steel buildings do not require any waterproofing. Arches are seamed together in a totally
waterproof joint by the electric seaming machine. No nuts, bolts, or screws are used in the erection of
the arches.
K-SPAN BUILDINGS ARE INSULATED:
K-SPAN steel buildings can be completely insulated to provide desired temperature and comfort levels
inside the buildings. Once insulated, the K-SPAN STEEL BUILDINGS can be air-conditioned and
heated by using conventional air-conditioning and heating systems.
A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE (K-SPAN) STEEL BUILDING SYSTEM AND
THE CONVENTIONAL STEEL BUILDING SYSTEMS
1-Buildings are constructed on a continuous concrete strip footing along the building.
It fits all kinds of soils, as 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
footings.
2-No Structural framing as trusses or any nuts, bolts, rivets or screws are required to erect a (K-SPAN)
manufactured building.
3-Steel is formed and produced at the mill by cold roll forming process according to the specifications
of the American Institute for Steel Industry (A.I.S.I.), which keeps the physical specifications of the
steel during the process of manufacturing.
4-By the conventional way, Kirby sheets are mounted on roofs or endwalls by a huge quantity of
screws, which allow the rain or water to enter inside the building. The (K-SPAN) steel buildings are
waterproofed, because the arches and the endwalls are seamed together in a totally waterproof joint
by the electric seaming machine. No nuts, bolts, or screws are used in the erection of the arches or
the endwalls.
5-The arches’ shape of the building gives the possibility to disperse the forces’ effect on the building
whether it was air pressure, explosions, earthquakes, or whirl winds that give a direct effect on the
conventional buildings with straight comers.
6-The inside thermal, acoustic, and fire protection insulation for (K-SPAN) steel buildings are less
expensive than any insulations of the conventional steel buildings.
7-Because of its weather protection capabilities, the K-SPAN steel system is preferred to cover basins
and stadiums where there is too much steam, salts and humidity.
8-K-SPAN protection facilities are distinguished with their architectural, geometrical and

 beautiful designs that complete the outside view of the building with an artistic touch of beauty,
whether it was outside or inside the building. K-SPAN arches can be also dismantled and erected
again in any other place without any changes in its shape or specifications where it is impossible in
the conventional steel systems.
Out of this comparison, we find out that using the K-SPAN system is much more effective than using
other conventional steel building systems for the following reasons:
1- The cost estimate of a K-SPAN SYSTEM steel building is half the cost estimate of a conventional
steel building.
2- The necessary time needed to execute a K-SPAN steel building is half the time needed to execute a
conventional steel building.
3- The cost estimate for the maintenance of a K-SPAN SYSTEM steel building afterwards is
considerably less than the cost estimate for the maintenance of a conventional steel building.
DRAWINGS & CALCULATIONS
Prices for all buildings include one set of printed erection drawings, one erection procedure manual
If required, two sets of standard computer calculations will be furnished upon request. When requested,
four sets of approval erection drawings will be furnished. No further work will be done by K-SPAN
until one set of drawings is returned “Approved” or “Approved as Noted”.
Erection drawings will be issued “For Construction” after receipt of signed approval drawings. Only
drawing stamped “For Construction” shall be used for erection.

5. DESIGN LOADS
5.1 Dead Load is the actual weight of the structure itself.
5.2 Live Load (Ducting lighting, Fire Fighting) is the required gravity load the structure shall
support and is specified by local building codes. Live load is stated in kg/m2 (kilograms per square
meter).
Many building codes specify minimum design live loads that may range from 50 to 100 kg/m2
Live load or snow is applied to the middle two “fourths” of the arch only, assuming that the outer
two “fourths” are too steep to support live loads. It is felt that this load condition will produce
more situations, than a live load imposed on the entire arch.

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
5.3 Wind load is the load on the structure due to the effects of wind. Wind produces both a direct
pressure on the windward side and an uplift (suction) on the top and sides. Wind load is slated in
km/hr (kilometers per hour).
Two wind load conditions are considered as follows

5.3.1 Wind Load 1 = Load due to horizontal wind blowing across the arch along the X - Axis;

5.3.2 Wind Load 2 = Load due to horizontal wind blowing across the length of the building along the
Z - Axis;
This wind load applies uniform outward suction as associated with a “wind tunnel effect”.

7. USE OF DESIGN TABLES
The design tables contain design information for common sizes of buildings with loadings that may be expected. From
the tables, the required thickness and grade of steel may be determined as well as the information necessary for the
proper design of the foundations of the carrying structure.
At the bottom of the page arch weights and end wall weights are listed. With the thickness of steel determined from the
load conditions, the amount of steel required can be calculated by multiplying the arch weight by the length of the
building and adding the weight of two end walls.
To use an example, take a building 14 meters wide. 6 meters high and 30.5 meters long with 150 kilograms per square
meter design live load and 130 kilometers per hour design wind velocity.
a. Choose the table showing “W = 14.00 meters. H = 6.00 meters” in the upper left hand side of the page.
b. Go down the table under “Loads” until you reach 150 under “LIVE” and 130 under “WIND”.
c. Reading across, find that the “TOP” (roof arches) requires steel 1.00 mm thick, grade “D” (35 kg/mm2 yield
strength). The end walls require only 0.60 mm grade “C” (28 kg/mm2 yield strength).
d. Go to the bottom of the page under “STEEL WEIGHTS” and look under “1.00" to find that an arch (30.5 cm wide)
weighs 93 kilograms. The “TOP" (roof arches), being 30.5 meters long, would thus weigh 100 * 93 kilograms or
9,300 kilograms.
e. Look under “.60" and find that an end wall weighs 584 kilograms. Two end walls weigh 1,168 kilograms.
f. The total building, therefore, weighs 9,300 kilograms (roof arches) plus 1.168 kilograms (both end walls) or 10,468
kilograms.
g. Going back to the main part of the table for live and wind loads, extract design data for the foundations (e g., 673
kilograms per meter horizontal reaction) for the use of the foundation designer.
- Il should be noted that these tables also give information necessary for the proper settings of the (K-SPAN) equipment
during construction. For example, using the same 14.00 meter x 6.00 meter table, the straight panels should be cut to a
length of 20.08 meters and (hen curved to a radius of 7.08 meters (see upper right hand side of (he page).
- We (headroom width for a person 2 meters tall) may also be useful. Other headroom widths can be calculated for the
same geometry using the Pythagorean Theorem.
- For Arch Roof systems which are Carried by steel or concrete (Beams and Columns) the sections listed in the design
tables can be used as action forces above edge beams and supporting columns, hence we can make proper design for the
supporting structure and foundation.

ERECTION PROCEDURE
1. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose and Functions
The purpose of the K-Span is to produce metal buildings on site both quickly and economically.
Using its roll-forming components, it shapes structural grade steel coil into straight building panels.
It then corrugates and curves those straight panels into arches dimensioned to the pre-set size to
meet the building requirements. Those curved panels are then assembled on the ground, using an
electrically powered seaming machine, into 3-5 panel. The crane then lifts the group of panels into
position in the foundation forms, where they are secured by spot welding and with guy ropes as
necessary. This process is repeated until the entire roof is completed. Next, the endwalls are shaped
from straight panels, cut to size, installed and seamed together, leaving room for doors, windows
and vents in accordance with the plans.

ERECTION PROCEDURE
2. SEQUENCE OF K-SPAN CONSTRUCTION
2.1 Fabricating Curved Panels
Measure end-to-end of first curved panel and compare it to foundation width prior to removing
panel from the stands. Slight variations are to be expected and are acceptable.
The number of workers necessary to manually transport the curved panel from the tables to the
assembly area can be calculated by dividing the panel weight by 25 kg. The formed arch weight for
example building is 96 kg divided by 25 kg per person = 4 workers required to safety move.

00020002890000020101020200025353

Once this first section is in the correct position it must be firmly secured with guy ropes attached to
anchors in the ground and/or on the concrete slab. Unused coils of steel can make good temporary
weights to secure the guy ropes. Do not tie the guy ropes to any sharp objects such as hangers that have
been torched to create a hole for attachment. These sharp edges can fray or cut the ropes and allow the
structure to be unsecured.

ERECTION PROCEDURE
 2.6 Seaming Panel Section Together

After the first panel section is assembled, plumb, square and secured (approximately 45cm from
endwall outer form) into position, assembly of additional panel sections can continue. The second panel
section is assembled and lifted into position next to the first panel section. Care should be taken to
assure the panel edges ("Hook” and “Hem”) of adjacent panels from the first and second section nest
properly into each other. A “spotter” worker, on the roof of the first section set, is to direct the crane
operator in placing each new set. After this set is lowered into position, they are secured with the vise
clamps provided with the K-Span System. Clamps are to be placed every 3 to 6 meters along the arch.
The panel sections are then seamed together. Attach the seamer as close to the end of the panel as
possible and turn it ON.
Guy ropes are normally left in place until the length of the building matches the width. For example, a
building 15 meters wide and 30 meters long, the guy ropes can be removed after 15 meters of panel
sections have been set and spot welded to the angle iron in the foundation.

Construction on the first endwall normally can commence after the building length is equal to the
width. Al that point, the guy rope bracing can be removed and endwall construction can be performed
more easily.

ERECTION PROCEDURE
There are several different methods for constructing framed openings in the endwall of this structure.
The vertical jambs can be located either inside or on the outside of the vertical endwall panels and can
either run up to a bolted connection at the roof arch or stop at the header height. Attachment at the base
will vary from welding the jamb to the base angle to bolting the base of the jamb to a concrete footer
positioned under the jamb locations. These illustrations shown in Figure and on the following pages
will show the jambs inside the vertical endwall panel, extending up to attach to the roof arch by means
of a gusset plate. A light gauge metal “gusset” plate is initially fastened to the second last roof arch by
means of self-drill fasteners through the vertical lip of the panel. Eventually, it will be covered and
seamed into the endwall as a unit when all vertical endwall panels have been installed and the final
arch.

K-SPAN PRODUCT
ERECTION PROCEDURE
Once the correct panel length has been determined, the next step is to cut the panel to this length and
trim the vertical legs from the lop 10cm angling downward at a 45°. Attach the exposed flat of the
straight endwall panel with self-drill fasteners to the roof arch vertical leg. After all vertical endwall
panels are in place, the entire endwall will be sealed off with the attachment of “Cap Panel” endwall
arch (see SECTION “A”-"A” above). Note the top of the vertical endwall panel is trimmed back to
make room for the last endwall arch.

K-SPAN PRODUCT
ERECTION PROCEDURE
The first panels to attach are the ones adjacent to the large door vertical jambs. Do not install any panels
over the framed openings at this point.
Continue to install additional vertical endwall panels until the location of any personal doors are
reached. Skip exactly 1.22 meters (4 panels wide) and install another panel. These two outer panels will
serve to stabilize the personnel door frame. Details on the personnel door framed opening, trim and large
framed opening trim *** on the following figures. The endwall should now resemble the illustration
above.
With all of the trim pieces in place, the remainder of the endwall panels over the framed openings can
now be installed. Once this is completed, take care to seam all vertical panels together as a unit.
Installation of the personnel doors and the roll-up doors can now begin.

At this point, all panels are in place and secured to the base angle. The next step is optional. A coat of rubberized
paint can be applied to the base area of all panels to a height slightly above anticipated finished concrete levels.
This can give added protection to the metal panels being exposed to “green concrete”. Remember to treat both
inside and outside of the panels.
