We provide complete engineering solution including design calculation for steel structure or Non- structure works with the facility of online meeting if required for the project discussion. Using latest software tools to provide best engineering practice for the projects.
Design calculations for structures involve a systematic process to determine the appropriate size, strength, and configuration of structural elements based on the applied loads and other relevant factors. The following steps are typically involved in the design calculation process for structures:
Understand Project Requirements:
-Gather information about the project, including architectural and functional requirements, building codes, and any specific constraints.
Determine Loads:
-Identify and quantify all the loads that will act on the structure, including dead loads (permanent), live loads (temporary), snow loads, wind loads, and seismic loads.
Select Appropriate Design Codes and Standards:
-Choose the relevant building codes and standards that apply to the type of structure and location. Adhere to these standards throughout the design process.
Structural Analysis:
-Perform structural analysis using engineering principles and software tools to determine internal forces, reactions, and deformations in the structure under various load conditions.
-Using Design Software like Staad Pro, SAP 2000, Idea Statica, Procon etc to get precise outcome to suite our valuable clients specification and offer.
Material Selection:
-Select appropriate materials for structural components, considering factors such as strength, durability, and cost. Common materials include concrete, steel, wood, and composites.
Structural Element Sizing:
-Determine the size and dimensions of structural elements, such as beams, columns, and foundations, based on the calculated internal forces and material properties.
Foundation Design:
-Design foundations using Prokon & SAP200 to safely transfer loads from the structure to the ground, considering soil conditions and bearing capacity.
Connection Design:
-Design connections between structural elements using Software like IDEA STATICA, Advance Steel Works etc to ensure they can resist applied forces and moments. Consider factors like welding, bolting, and material compatibility.
Consideration of Serviceability:
-Check for serviceability criteria such as deflection limits, vibration, and other factors that affect the usability and functionality of the structure.
Wind and Seismic Design:
-Design the structure to resist wind and seismic forces based on the specified design parameters and local building codes.
Load Combinations:
-Combine various types of loads to assess the most critical loading conditions. Apply load combinations as per relevant design codes.
Documentation:
-Prepare detailed design calculations, drawings, and specifications that clearly communicate the design intent to builders and contractors.
Review and Quality Assurance:
-Conduct thorough reviews of the design calculations to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable standards. Implement quality assurance measures.
Construction Support:
-Provide ongoing support during the construction phase to address any issues that may arise and ensure the structure is built according to the design.
