ABSTRACT

This paper is regarding the structural analysis of identified parts of a warehouse building. The parts analyzed included: roof rafter, columns Beam, tension members, and the joints of the structure. The parts of the building taken were considered to be the highest especially given the loading conditions. The three major loads acting on the structure included: snow load, wind load, and the structure´s own weight i.e., self-weight. The main purpose of the analysis was to consider all the structural members and identify parts of the building which experienced high stresses. Parts of the structure which experienced high stresses were redesigned to reduce the stress levels. The Rafter members, cross-section properties were changed which increased the second moment of area. To increase the stiffness type of material used on the beams was changed. The next step was to isolate the structural members and manipulate the design to gather for the high stresses. The design & analysis covers the majority of the thesis and is the most important part of any project. There were many dependent steps involved in the analysis part. The structure that did not experience high stresses is 90% part of the structure. Redesigning was keen to support the analysis.
