I need a structural engineer experienced in industrial steel warehouse and shed design to design a lightweight and economical MS structure using mainly C-channels and RHS/box pipes, suitable for fabrication and erection in India.
Project Details
Building size: 145 ft × 55 ft
Building type: Industrial warehouse
Roof: Double-slope / gable roof
Clear height: 10,365 mm (approximately 34 ft)
Roofing: JSW 0.60 mm PPGI profile sheet
Vertical cladding: JSW 0.60 mm PPGI profile sheet
Brick masonry: 3 m high brick wall on all sides
Crane: 5-ton EOT crane
Structure: MS steel
Design objective: Lightweight, economical and structurally safe
Preferred Structural System
I specifically want the structure optimized using C-channel or built-up C-channel columns, RHS/box-pipe roof trusses, RHS/box-pipe structural members wherever economical, C-channel or Z-channel purlins and girts as appropriate, and box-pipe or angle bracing as required.
The designer should avoid unnecessarily heavy I-sections wherever a properly designed C-channel or box-pipe solution can safely perform the required function.
Main Structural Requirement
The warehouse must be designed for a 5-ton EOT crane, including crane self-weight, 5-ton rated lifting capacity, crane wheel loads, impact and dynamic effects, horizontal surge forces, longitudinal braking forces, crane runway beam and support reactions, and connection and column effects.
The crane runway and supporting structure should be properly integrated with the main building frame.
Design Scope
Structural grid and framing arrangement
Column design using C-channel or built-up sections where feasible
Box-pipe roof truss design
Purlin and side-girt design
Crane runway beam and support design
EOT crane load calculations and load combinations
Roof and wall bracing
Base plate and anchor bolt details
Structural connection design and details
3 m brick-wall interface details
Roofing and vertical-cladding support arrangement
Foundation reaction and load summary for civil design
Complete structural member size schedule
Approximate total MS steel quantity in MT
General arrangement drawings
Fabrication and connection detail drawings
Design Codes
Design should follow applicable Indian Standard codes and current relevant provisions for steel design, dead and imposed loads, wind loads, seismic considerations, crane loading, structural connections and foundation interface loads.
The engineer should determine the applicable design loads based on the actual project/site conditions rather than assuming unsuitable values.
Important Requirement
The key objective is lightweight, economical, 5-ton EOT crane capable, safe and fabrication friendly.
Please optimize the steel tonnage without compromising structural safety, serviceability, crane operation or compliance with applicable Indian Standards.
I am looking for a designer who has experience with industrial sheds, PEB/MS structures and EOT crane buildings.
Required Deliverables
Structural design and calculations
GA drawings
Fabrication and detail drawings
