Project Name:

Warehouse Steel Structure with Laced Columns – Canada

This project is a modern steel-structured warehouse located in Canada, designed to accommodate local environmental conditions with high structural efficiency and material economy. The building footprint measures 64.34m × 43.94m, with a total height of 9.13 meters, covering a total floor area of 2,496.40㎡.

Key Design Parameters:

• Snow Load: 2.0 kN/㎡

• Wind Load (Speed): 0.44 kN/㎡

• Total Steel Consumption: Approx. 160 metric tons

Structural Features:

• The primary load-bearing system combines portal frames with laced columns, ensuring both rigidity and economic use of materials.

• Heavy-duty H-section steel is used for main frame columns and rafters, providing robust resistance against lateral and vertical loads.

• Laced column design not only enhances structural strength but also reduces the amount of steel required, optimizing overall cost-effectiveness.

• Purlins and girts are precisely arranged to simplify the installation of roof and wall cladding systems.

• The entire model was detailed using Tekla Structures, enabling accurate joint connections and high-quality fabrication drawings, which significantly streamline the manufacturing and erection processes.

This project exemplifies the principles of lightweight yet high-strength design, tailored for industrial applications in cold regions. It stands as a practical reference for efficient and resilient steel warehouse structures.
