Structure
To support the roof and shape of the pergola, double T-section steel beams and columns have been used. The rafters supporting the roof are made of cold-formed cross-sections; the roof itself consists of a thermoacoustic sheet with a ventilation monitor, resting on the main structure.
Structural Analysis
The structural modeling and analysis was carried out in RFEM 6, optimizing the design using the Steel Design add-on, thus verifying the safety and compliance with all the ultimate and service limit states required in the standard.
