This customer project is a steel structure of two-tier mezzanine, designed by Almacon Storage Systems BV, a customer of Dlubal Software. The mezzanine serves as additional storage space for the production hall in Belgium. The project is based on SHS columns and cold-formed C-sections as primary and secondary beams. In contrast, the floor itself consists entirely of steel gratings, providing an extremely resilient floor area.
The structure has been stabilized by columns and cross bracings, which results in a load-bearing capacity of 500 kg/m². Since the beams are eccentrically connected to the columns, a double moment is introduced into the columns. During the structural design, several load cases were created to analyze various checker-board loads.
The structure was initially modeled in the CAD program Tekla Structures and then transferred to RFEM using the interface. Then, the analysis of the two-tier steel mezzanine and the design in the Steel Design add-on were carried out in RFEM. This customer project will certainly continue to provide stable storage in the future.
