How many pajeets do you guys employ becsuse the past two years your shops have been fricking terrible and there are spelling errors everywhere
Also why the frick are you unable to understand how to produce a moment connection detail as a delegated design by your own people
We specify 50% UDL which is in the method of standard practice and you fricking degenerates literally NEVER figure it out
I work for a small firm that is just 3 white guys. MC we just usually CJP flanges

shiet, I did this for like half a year. I was the only person with an engineering degree so I knew I was in the wrong place. my boss was also a taskmaster who believed 50 hours a week was the minimum.
frick that. I like having my free time to do whatever.
Here you go mein fren (pdf link). I recommend starting with "E.III – Special constructions („Sonderbauten“), Machine bunker" and scale up from there as required

Are you asking for plans, or where to get? Few times a year I see a commercial/industrial building taken down. All have had steel I beams, even a couple I wouldn't have thought (only expected trusses resting on a block wall). Unfortunately they get a bit mangled being taken down with HE. I haven't asked, so not sure how willing they would be to let somebody drag some home. I've wanted to put a carport up for some time, seems welding some hangers might work... also, I let my son climb around on them. Better than the jungle gym.
They sell those for scrap so chat with the boss and offer cash of course. Many demo outfits take theirs down more neatly for resale.
Diablo carbide tooth recip blades will cut them on the spot but if playing with scrap steel it's moronic not to own a cutting torch.
your foundation depends entirely on your local soil. How hard is it dry and when it rains too.
For DIY i always liked the idea of placing a building on a series of pilons designed to make it easy to lift it with a jack and put some shims so you can keep it leveled as the ground sinks
My shipping containers are welded to beams and each other. Your idea is highly practical and easy to implement.
My welding shop slab (20x20 but scaling upwards would be easy) is also framed with I-beam which eliminated need for wooden forms. That's not for jacking of course but was insanely convenient,
every house should be built on screw jacks. All foundations sink, the only question is how much and how uniform.
how would i erect an i or h beam in the vertical position 20ft without a crane?
There are a variety of ways.

Describe in detail the beam, the base and the purpose. For example my hambro did what many do with antenna masts and fabbed a steel plate hinged base then raised the mast using an engine hoist until he could move it the rest of the way by winching the guy wires.
Also note if it's to be freestanding or controlled with guy wires or become part of anything else.
We need to get in touch then
I can be your connections engineer for side money depnding on what state you guys are located
