Design of an industrial steel building with PRO_SAP — Part 3: Checking the results

With the actions defined, the third part covers a step that comes before any strength verification: checking that the model responds in a physically consistent way. Deflection limits For the vertical deflection of the purlins the “200 f/L” command is used, passed when the ratio is below 1. For horizontal displacements, the maximum of 6.83 […]
Design of an industrial steel building with PRO_SAP — Part 2: Load analysis and application

After building the model, the second part of the series covers the load analysis and the definition of the actions on the building, in accordance with NTC 2018. The video is in Italian. Permanent loads The starting point is the self-weight. The structural self-weight comes directly from the weight of the steel (7,850 kg/m³). The […]
Design of an industrial steel building with PRO_SAP — Part 1: Modelling

This five-part series follows the design of an industrial steel building with PRO_SAP, from building the model through to the verification of the connections, presented by Ing. Mirco Basaglia. The series works through a complete case study, with a level of detail meant to guide the designer through every stage of the work, from the […]
