You have to create a TSD 2024 model for the below warehouse structure.

Design information

The given warehouse structure is constructed with a steel frame (grade S275 steel).

The structure has seven frames (Frame 1 to 7) as shown. For all frames use a steel section of IPE 500 for the
columns. For the rafter beams use a steel section of IPE 500. Consider a steel sections UAP 175 for purlins and
CHS 139.7x4.0 for braces.

The base of the column can be assumed as pinned. Rafter beam and the column are rigidly connected. Primary
beam and the column are rigidly connected. Other member releases can be taken as pin.

Analyses the structure for the load case combination of (Final) STR1-1.35G+1.5Q+1.5RQ, (Final) EQU1-
1.1G+1.5Q+1.5RQ, (Final) EQU4.1-0.9G+1.5W, (Final) EQU4.2-0.9G+1.5W and envelope all load cases
together, load considering the below load cases.

• Dead load of the roof was found to be 0.22kPa.

• Live load on the roof is 1kPa (live load on roof from 0.4kPa to 0.6kPa for roof angle less than 60̊).
• Basic wind speed is 21.6 m/s (location UK, SK).

Includes the self-weight of all members in your analysis and design.

Design all members listed bellow by using Tekla Structural Designer 2024 and GAD modules 2024.

• Design pad footing and base plate connection (pin connection).

• Design column and rafter and steel moment connection apex and eaves at GL: 4-E
• Design purlins and girts.
• Design all bracing members include x-bracing, strut at apex and strut at eaves.

Answers all these questions bellow

I hope that all questions bellow will help all of you to know more much about steel structure especially for long
span steel design or warehouse structure.

• Why you choose pin base connection at base of steel portal frame?
• What’s effective deep (height of section) of purlin relative to the section of rafter?
• What’s the maximum spacing of purlin?
• Why do you need to model bracing system in warehouse structure?
• What’s the phenomenon (local buckling, torsional buckling, lateral torsional bucking, bending
capacity, shear capacity) must be checked during design of steel rafter and steel column?
• How to prevent buckling out of plan of steel column?
• How to prevent torsional buckling of steel column?
• How to prevent lateral torsional bucking of steel rafter?
• Can we include restraint of steel roof sheet to improve stability of rafter or not?
• In case the pad footing resist large sliding forces from upper structure, how can you solve this
problem?
• How do you know steel warehouse structure is braced frame or unbraced frame?
• What’s the minimum and maximum unbraced length of members?
• Does Tekla Structural Designer can design tapered frame or not?
