Project of a two-aisle, two-story industrial hall with a crane, designated GT 000512.
Two-Aisle, Two-Story Industrial Hall with Overhead Crane

The aim of this work was to design selected elements of a two-bay, two-story industrial hall with an overhead crane located in Nowa Sól.

The hall is constructed of prefabricated elements. The building, measuring 24x45m and 16m high, consists of repeatable, two-nave frames spaced every 4.5m. The columns have supports in two directions, which support the roof girders, crane beams and edge beams, which provide support for the TT floor slabs.

As part of the work, loads were compared and the necessary elements were selected from catalogues of various companies. Then, static and strength calculations were performed for the steel purlin, the edge beam, the column with its supports, and the foundation footing and its connection to the column. Finally, architectural and construction drawings of the building were made, as well as construction drawings of the edge beam, column with brackets and foundation footing.

Illustration of equivalent lateral force method for seismic analysis in structural engineering
This article provides a comprehensive overview of essential seismic analysis methods, explaining their principles and applications, as well as the scenarios in which they are most effective
KB 001897 | Determination of Imperfections in Design Check Formulas of Flexural Buckling Analysis
Flexural buckling analysis is a combination of stability analysis and ultimate limit state design that has been used in steel structures for hundreds of years. The critical buckling load is the starting point here for considering the stability problem, but no design has yet been performed without considering imperfections. How exactly are these imperfections determined?
KB 001801 | Accessing FSM Results
To be able to evaluate the influence of local stability phenomena of slender structural components, RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9 provide you with the option of performing a linear critical load analysis on the cross-section level. The following article explains the basics of the calculation and the result interpretation.
KB 001824 | Distortional Buckling Design of Bottom Flange of Steel Frame Beam According to GB
When a concrete slab is set upon the top flange, its effect is like a lateral support (composite construction), preventing problems of torsional buckling stability. If there is a negative distribution of the bending moment, the bottom flange is subjected to compression and the top flange is under tension. If the lateral support provided by the stiffness of the web is insufficient, the angle between the bottom flange and the web intersection line is variable, so there is a possibility of distortional buckling of the bottom flange.

Feature 002807 | 3D Display of FSM Results

In the "Edit Section" dialog box, you can display the buckling shapes of the Finite Strip Method (FSM) as a 3D graphic.

Feature 002672 | Stability and Cross-Section Design for Cold-Formed Sections According to EN 1993-1-3

In the Steel Design add-on, you can perform the stability and cross-section design checks of cold-formed sections according to EN 1993‑1‑3 in compliance with Sections 6.1.2 – 6.1.5 and 6.1.8 – 6.1.10.

Cold-formed steel design according to AISI S100 and CSA S136 standards in RFEM 6 software.

The design of cold-formed steel members according to the AISI S100-16 / CSA S136-16 is available in RFEM 6. Design can be accessed by selecting “AISC 360” or “CSA S16” as the standard in the Steel Design Add-on. “AISI S100” or “CSA S136” is then automatically selected for the cold-formed design.

RFEM applies the Direct Strength Method (DSM) to calculate the elastic buckling load of the member. The Direct Strength Method offers two types of solutions, numerical (Finite Strip Method) and analytical (Specification). The FSM signature curve and buckling shapes can be viewed under Sections.

Feature 002552 | Cross-section checks for cold-formed steel members according to EN 1993-1-3 considering local buckling

Would you like to perform cross-section design checks for cold-formed steel members according to EN 1993‑1‑3? No matter if you design the cold-formed sections from the cross-section library or the general cold-formed (non-perforated) sections from RSECTION – your structural analysis program helps you to determine the effective cross-section, taking into account the local buckling and instability. You can also perform a cross-section check according to EN 1993‑1‑3, 6.1.6. In this case, the internal forces from the calculation using Torsional Warping (7 DOF) are taken into account by means of the equivalent stress check
