130 The 1200 m² building is located in Ravno Pole, near the capital Sofia. This location has significant wind, snow and seismic loads. The building is separated into three compartments via fire-resistant walls. The structure is designed with steel frames with a structural span of 24 m. The columns, beams and purlins are designed as castellated members. Secondary elements such as purlins and façade members were designed as dual function members, providing bearing capacity and structural stability. The challenge was to calculate the structure and to search for the optimal design. For this project, several separate models were created. The first stage was the modelling of a conventional steel hall, which later was transformed into a model with castellated members. The third stage was the joint design and manufacturing planning. Using SCIA Engineer as a primary calculation software, Tsenov Consult made an efficient design of the structure. Using the member opening functionality, they were able to design the castellated members. The result was an overall structural weight of 66 tons. ARCHITECT Arch.
