2024 Metal Building Systems Manual is now available

2024 Metal Building Systems Manual is now available
May 1, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.

This manual spells out common industry practices relating to the design, manufacture, sale and erection of metal building systems.

The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) announces the release of the 2024 edition of the MBMA Metal Building Systems Manual. First published in 1959, this internationally recognized reference manual is a primary resource for the metal building industry and is being published in partnership with the International Accreditation Service (IAS) and International Code Council (ICC). It is available for purchase at MBMAManual.com in both print and PDF editions.
 
“For more than 65 years, the Metal Building Systems Manual has been the go-to resource in the metal building industry,” notes Lee Shoemaker, Ph.D., PE, MBMA director of research and engineering. “This edition brings it up to date with the latest codes and provides even more examples and drawings to reference. With these revisions, it continues to be a must-have asset for those in our industry.”
 
The 2024 edition of the MBMA Metal Building Systems Manual brings the publication into conformance with the 2024 Edition of the International Building Code and ASCE 7-22 Metal Building Systems Manual. It also spells out common industry practices relating to the design, manufacture, sale and erection of metal building systems (including contract, order documents and engineer of record).
 
A number of other important updates have been made to the manual, including but not limited to:

  • All the example problems for wind and snow have been expanded and enhanced to highlight the changes in ASCE 7-22, including tornado load examples.
  • New Appendices have been included for the following: 
    • Large doors
    • Bulk grain loads
    • Steel thickness – inch versus gauge
    • Hail

“The latest edition of the Metal Building Systems Manual is a testament to the many volunteers who put in hundreds of hours revising and reviewing it,” adds Tony Bouquot, MBMA general manager. “And it’s our great honor to dedicate it to Dr. Lee Shoemaker, who will be retiring at the end of the year. His work on the many editions of this publication is an example of his dedication to and knowledge of our industry.”
 
The 2024 Metal Building Systems Manual is available in two formats: a print edition which can be sent via mail or a PDF edition that can be downloaded immediately. Either can be purchased at MBMAManual.com.
