Industrial Manufacturing Building with Steel Truss Frame, EOTC Crane, and Pile Foundations

This solution details the design of an industrial manufacturing building featuring a workshop and a three-storey office/storage area. The structural scheme utilizes a steel truss system with hangers to achieve large clear spans, incorporating an Electric Overhead Travelling Crane (EOTC) with a 100kN capacity.

Key engineering tasks include wind load analysis, truss and column member sizing, and the design of runway beams and pile foundations based on varied soil strata. Design checks cover bending, shear, and deflection limits in accordance with Eurocodes and UK National Annexes. Deliverables include a comprehensive scheme comparison, carbon footprint calculations, load path diagrams, and a detailed construction method statement.
