Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this Bachelor’s thesis was to demonstrate how to conduct
structural analysis and design of a low-rise steel industrial building. The
project was commissioned by HAMK Tech Research Unit as a practical
summer project for trainees. The client was interested in constructing a
single-storey industrial hall for processing moose carcasses delivered by
hunting clubs of Finland. The building’s architecture is based on the
function of the building. Structural design of the building was assigned to
a group of students who were guided by supervising teachers of HAMK
University of Applied Sciences. This thesis serves as a demonstrative
example of how structural analysis and design for this building was
conducted.
The design work was started by calculation of loads and defining the load
combinations. One of the first steps was to create a BIM model using Tekla
Structures that has later been used for decisions on various design
problems and for making shop drawings for production. Further on, the
building structure was modelled in Dlubal RFEM where the structural
analysis was made. Resistance check of joints was made using the
calculation results from RFEM. Production of technical drawings for shop
manufacturing was the final step of the project.
The thesis contains a detailed description of the design steps such as
calculation of loads, structural analysis conducted in software, resistance
check of joints and finally, examples of production drawings. The design
was completed in accordance with Eurocodes, National Annexes and
requirements of the client.
