Two topics, related to each other, were considered in this work. The main topic is the design of an industrial building frame according to Russian construction norms (SNiP) and Eurocodes. Another topic is the comparison of the design methods between SNiP and Eurocodes.
The thesis includes information about loads estimation, the design of concrete columns, steel trusses and foundations according to SNiP. For the purpose of comparison, the design of concrete columns and steel trusses according to Eurocodes was considered, too. Along with this, the static analysis of a frame structure was discussed. The stresses in elements of the frame were determined using two methods of static mechanics (the force and flexibility methods).
The thesis was made for Quattrogemini Ltd which is a contractor for construction in Russia. A simple method for preliminary design of typical industrial buildings was needed for the company. The development of such a system for building design was accepted as the thesis purpose. Calculation spreadsheets for the design of concrete columns, steel trusses and foundations were made as one of the results of this work. These spreadsheets are useful, for example, in designing tender projects.
A typical industrial building was chosen for this work. The main elements of the building frame are concrete columns and primary and secondary steel trusses. The building is located in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The static analysis of the building frame, loads estimation, the design of the main frame elements and foundations were made. These calculations can be found in Appendices.
As the result of SNiP and Eurocodes comparison, some differences were found. According to Eurocodes, snow and wind loads according to Eurocodes are signifi-cantly higher (about 2 times) than the corresponding loads in SNiP. For the build-ing considered in this work, the effective length of the columns pursuant to Euro-codes is much greater in comparison with SNiP and causes significant differences in the design results. Required reinforcement area is much higher according to Eurocodes because loads and effective length of the columns are greater in these norms. Profile dimensions of the steel truss members are higher pursuant to Eurocodes, mostly, because of the difference in snow loads.
