STEEL STRUCTURE DESIGN

Today’s steel structure construction solution is widely used for construction projects. Steel structure design is an important stage, must be standard and meet the requirements of the investor because it will determine the accuracy when manufacturing and erecting the pre-engineered factory.

What is Steel Structure Design?

Structural design is one of the important steps for the project to be put into stable and long-term use. This stage will provide details and accuracy for each construction item, helping to control and optimize costs when building pre-engineered buildings.
The standard design stages of steel structures include the following steps:

• Technical design
  Most architectural drawings as well as technical design drawings must go through the safety assessment step.
  Design site survey
  Project details calculation:
  – Total load of the whole construction,
  – Loads of columns, beams, floors
  – Loads of walls, ceilings, floors when finishing
  – Crane load, wind load
  
• Production design
  After the technical design drawing, the production drawing will be made with complete and detailed quantity, size, shape, technical requirements, 3D shape of each steel structure.
  
• Erection design
  The erection design drawing will describe the floor plan of the factory, the exact erection position of the components.

Triviet Steel Building uses the most modern steel structure design software:
– SAP2000, Ram connection, Idea Statica,
– Autocad, Tekla…

Design standards for pre-engineered steel buildings

The standard design solution must satisfy 2 conditions simultaneously:

• Ensure bearing capacity: Intensity
• Ensure the requirements for use: allowable deflection

Triviet Steel Buildings always update the latest design standards and technology to provide optimal design solutions. The applied steel structure design meets American standards: ASCE 7-10, IBC 2015, MBMA , AISC 360-10, AISI 2007, AWS D1.1 2015

The design engineer team at Triviet Steel Buildings meets the following requirements:

• Good reading comprehension of architectural drawings and related items
• Regularly update knowledge on standards on design and construction of steel structures.
• Be careful and meticulous when calculating and checking data on loads and internal forces to the structural plan, making drawings.
