Designing a steel structure?

50' span, @15' bay- lenghth is 150', min height 20' at sides, ridge 25', wind pressure max. 250 km/hr, earthquake zone 2. land load bearing capacity is .7 tsf, what would be the total steel needed, there will be 45'x50' mezzanine and a full loaded crane of max 18 ton, thank you

Answer:
that would depend on your design plan.
Considering your risk of earthquake and wind speed, your foundation would need deep pilings for earthquakes, a honeycomb roof to be strong with light weight, cross ribbed support. A span every 20 feet.
Able to support 18 tons with a safety factor of minimum 1.6
Do you have a tentative print yet?
I would like to see if you are proposing structural steel tube supports (hollow) or if you are using I beams.
