Shear Engineering Corporation provided foundation design, structural component design and construction observations for a 60' x 120' x 16' agricultural post-frame building (pole barn) located near Bennett, Colorado.

Due to adverse loading conditions and the client’s wish for large door openings, specialty header design was required. A composite beam, consisting of several steel and wood components was designed for specific locations where a standard wood header would not be adequate.
