Tiivistelmä
This study was commissioned by Pöyry Finland Oy. The purpose of the study was to introduce aspects to be considered during the design of industrial buildings in the United States, to define the difficulties to be faced, to study the main types of solutions and design programs in order to show the design features common in the United States.
In addition, this study is focused on the audience interested in broadening their horizons and seeing the world from designing from another continent.
The topic was selected and coordinated with the assistance of the Head of the construction department, which is the evidence of the construction department interest in this research.
The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the study of the normative documentation, the system of measurement units and the basic methods of calculation.
The second part of the thesis covers the method of load application design, typical solutions and examples of calculations of external loads.
The last part of the study includes typical softwares, typical solutions for floors and exterior walls. This part is also focused on the organization of the construction process within the United States.
As a result of this study, several significant points were identified which could complicate the design process of industrial buildings in the United States.
