Load-Bearing Structure of Single-Bay Storage Hall

This bachelor's thesis focuses on the comprehensive design of a load-bearing steel structure of a storage hall. The introductory part includes a load analysis that is the basis for the subsequent design of the roof and wall cladding, the main transverse frame, the gable wall, the bracing, and the load-bearing elements of the partition wall. The thesis also includes a technical report and drawing documentation.

For the structural analysis, 3D models were created in RFEM 6, and the calculations were performed using the finite element method. The structure is made of steel S235JR, using the European standard cross-sections available in the program library. The design takes into account the serviceability limit states, including partial checks of structural details, such as frame corners with flanges made of the same cross-sections as the main structural elements.

Steel Hall Segment Design with Structural Analysis Results

The boundary conditions include a maximum vertical deflection of 72 mm (l/250), a horizontal deflection of 56.5 mm (l/150), and a bracing slenderness ratio of i = L_cr / 250. A linear static analysis was performed that has to be taken into account when interpreting the results, especially for the bracing.

This project is a good example of the effective use of Dlubal software for structural analysis and design of steel structures within university studies.
