| Abstract: |
Pole building construction has gained popularity in the Midwestern United States due to its low cost and rapid construction applications. Farm and agricultural buildings, low-rise commercial units, and some storage facilities have utilized this type of construction technique. This paper reviews some common features of pole buildings and presents a case study for stricter construction supervision by design professionals, contractors, and building officials, alike. |
