Container Structure at Entrance to Motor Enclave in Tampa, Florida, USA

A distinctive entry point gantry structure welcomes motorsport enthusiasts of The Motor Enclaves at Tampa, Florida. The gantry structure is made of two 40-foot-high cube containers and steel frames.

The lower 40-foot container is an entry check point office. An oversize LCD screen is mounted at the upper 40-foot container.

Structural Analysis

RFEM was used to create the complex finite element model of the container structure, consisting of various surface elements and member sections. SHAPE-THIN was used to build custom shapes for the container member cross-sections. Due to the unique shape of the container structure configuration, RWIND is used to generate accurate wind loads with 360 degrees at 45-degree increments. The steel design check of the steel structure was performed using the RF-STEEL AISC add-on module.
