Analysis and Design of Industrial Warehouse Building

Abstract

The rapid industrialization in India has resulted in an increasing demand for well-designed industrial warehouse buildings to store raw materials and finished goods. This project focuses on the analysis and design of an industrial warehouse, emphasizing various force/load effects, including dead, live, and wind loads. These effects are crucial in the structural design of warehouse buildings to ensure their safety and stability. The design follows IS 800:2007 for steel structures, while IS 875:1987 is used for load analysis, covering dead, live, and wind loads. The study explores the calculation of excess stresses and ratios induced in connected members due to loading conditions and provides an in-depth analysis of the moments and forces produced. Various members of the warehouse, such as truss members, columns, and connections, are designed to meet the required standards. The optimization of the structure was performed using STAAD Pro software, which aided in selecting the most suitable steel sections based on load-carrying capacity. The quantity of steel required for the structure is calculated to ensure the design is not only safe but also cost-effective. In addition to structural integrity, the design aims to meet serviceability requirements, such as stiffness and durability, while also being aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. The project integrates both manual design calculations and computer-aided design (CAD) tools like AutoCAD and STAAD Pro to achieve an optimal solution. The design of the warehouse ensures it will fulfill its intended purpose, maintain structural integrity, and be economically viable over its life span
