How are the posts set in the ground and are you planning on diagonal bracing before you add more height? Three full height floors?

The post are steel and in the ground three feet in concrete. The first floor is 8 the second 6.5 and the the third is an 8x8 that is 6.5' with a walk out roof. Its all pre-engineered i beams even the second floor. Diagonal in the corners of the walls?

I noticed the engineered beams. They can make a nice sturdy floor. Will they be enclosed to protect from the weather? Usually they have to be kept dry, their moisture content below 16% to retain their design strength rating. Short term exposure is no problem, but long term can create a problem.
Quoting: pitman cabins Diagonal in the corners of the walls?
Diagonal bracing as in a steel member or wood timber placed at 45 degrees between the posts and the beam the post connects to. The three foot depth sounds good however piers in concrete are still only as stable as the soil surrounding them. The single bolt through the bracket to the beam looks like it would make a perfect pivot point. The good thing is that you have many posts so that adds stability, but diagonal bracing beam to post in the "length" direction and also across the "width" would be a good thing from a structural point of view, especially with a structure that is taller than it is wide.

ok thats what I believed you were saying, that is a good idea. I will do that. The i-beams will be covered, all wood will be covered. There is alot of concrete and the post are in clay. I dont really see how anything could pivit with that many post. Thanks for the input on the braces, I have used them before and I will add them!

I bought some screwon holds and bolted a bunch in the hallway of my primary res. Its boring but nice for deadhangs and pullups on crappy holds...
