Steel Design Project 2023

The document outlines the requirements for a semester project to design the steel structure of a 1-3 story building using provided architectural drawings, including important dates, the design process, analyzing the structure using software, performing manual calculations, and producing a final report with drawings, calculations, and a summary. Students are tasked with tracing floor plans, identifying structural elements, analyzing the whole building using design software, and manually calculating samples of beams, columns, and connections to validate the software results.

Design Project ECV 3215

Sem 2 2022/2023
Title:
Design of Steel Structure
Building
Important Dates
• Project Starts : week 8 (11 May 2023)
• Project End : week 14
• Report Submission : week 13 (Friday)
• Report Final submission : Study week
Basic of Design
• To design a structure that will perform
satisfactory during it intended life.
• Satisfied both ultimate and serviceability limit
state requirements.
• The quality of steel (grade and yield strength)
and other related materials and the
workmanship is adequate for safety,
serviceability and durability.
Project brief
• Find an architecture drawing for steel frame building
of range 1 to 3 storey. Industrial steel frame building
is encouraged to be used such as warehouse,
petrol pump, sport facilities etc.
• The drawings should includes:- i. Site Plan
ii. Floor Plans iii. Elevations iv. Sections
• Study the drawings and identify elements in the
drawings such as size of rooms, height,
purpose/function of the rooms, windows, materials
and others that will influence the load and structural
design.
Sample of Architecture Drawings
Important notation in architectural drawing
The Project
• Determine and list all basic design information
required for the project such as :
- Loads – permanent and variable
- Weight of materials
- Codes of practice used,
- load combinations
Basic project Information
The Project
• Trace the floor plan of each level onto the tracing
papers.
• Identify and draw the gridlines same as in the
architecture drawing.
• Identify and locate the beams and columns.
• Add additional gridlines to include all beams and
columns locations.
Gridlines & Dimensions
Structural Layout On tracing paper
Symbols
• Beam
• Column
The Project
• Use design software to analyse and design the whole
level of the building.
• Produce detail drawings of all elements in readable size.
• Do manual calculation for one of each structural
elements below:-
1. Restrained beam;
2. Unrestrained beam;
3. Connections of beam to beam & beam to
column;
4. column;
6. Base plate
• Compare your manual calculation and software result
and comments.
• Make summary or conclusion of the project.
