Created in 2005, Steel Engineering is a study office that is distinguished
by its know-how and expertise in the calculation and detailing of steel
structures (steel, stainless steel and aluminum).
Types of studies
: Design and optimization of structures, checking
existing structures, fire studies, seismic, fatigue, etc.
Types of structures studied
: Industrial structures, bridges, cranes, racks,
scaffolding, pylons, etc. Using powerful software tools, Steel Engineering
offers its customers a modern innovative service and excellent quality.

Structure
Racking structure - dimensions L x W x H = 35.8 m x 7.74 m x 20.5 m as a
self-supporting structure composed entirely of cold formed sections:
• Top guiding rail: +/- 35.8 m in one aisle.
• Racking class: Class 100B according to FEM 9.831.
• Racking composed of 10 frame axes.
• 6 levels for paper rolls, diameter from 300 to 700 mm.
• 6 levels for paper rolls, diameter from 700 to 1,200 mm.
Stability and modelling
Generally, the study of this kind of repetitive structure is made using
several 2D models. For this project, we used a 3D model which was used
to study the structure more rapidly in its entirety and quickly indicate
loads on foundations. Eccentricities in the cold-formed components and
assemblies have a significant impact on their stability. These effects
were controlled in another 3D model in which each type of cross section
was controlled with extreme ULS loading resulting from the first general
3D model. Using IFC export to Tekla Structures, we were also able to
make the first general drawings within the short deadlines imposed by
the client. The use of SCIA Engineer gave us the opportunity to provide a
complete study, quickly and safely.
