Optimized Structural Analysis and Design of a Long-Span Pre-Engineered Steel Warehouse Using STAAD.Pro

Abstract

tructural design is aimed to design a structure that full fills its intended purpose during its intended
life span and be adequately safe in terms of strength, stability, and structural integrity, serviceability in
terms of stiffness, durability, etc., and be economically viable, aesthetically pleasing, and environment
friendly. This paper presents the studies on the analysis and design of the steel warehouse structure.
The optimum design of the structure is carried out using finite element software STAAD Pro. The
analysis of the structure is carried out for suitable steel sections with different load carrying capacity.
The steel quantity required for the structure is calculated. Finally, along with material optimization,
techno-economical design to achieve the reliable performance of the warehouse structure is carried
out.
