Technical work sample
Large-Span Steel Structure
Structural Analysis & VerificationA representative engineering study demonstrating the structural analysis and verification of a complex large-span steel roof system.
The structure was analysed using a three-dimensional finite-element model. Primary structural members were represented using beam elements, while the roof diagonal bracing system was modelled using tension-only elements.
The analysis included structural self-weight, dead and live loads, snow loading, wind loading, temperature actions, seismic actions, static load combinations, modal analysis, response-spectrum analysis, member strength verification, stability verification and displacement assessment.
Provided with permission as a representative technical sample. It is not a ROVAD PARTNERS project; project identifiers, confidential data and source files are not published.
