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. Owner Avery Dennison - Roll Material Europe General Contractor CTI Systems - Storax Construction Period 08/2014 - 12/2014 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. Highbay Warehouse for Paper Roll Storage - Rodange, Luxembourg SE Steel Engineering
