STRUCTURAL DRAFTING SERVICES
OUR AUSTRALIA WIDE 2D and 3D STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND DRAFTING SERVICES
We offer a range of 2D and 3D Structural Drafting Services across Australia. We have worked on various Structural projects supporting small, medium, and large industries. Our Structural Drafting Services work varies from Structural design drafting to shop detailing.
Structural Design Drafting Services Sample Work:
Steel Building Design Drafting: Steel building specifications provide basic information about the prefab steel building, including warehouse, workshop, shed, and garage building. The steel building is a structure composed of steel materials, which are comprised of steel columns, steel beams, steel trusses, and other components. The parts are usually connected by welding or bolts. Because of its lightweight and comfortable construction is widely used in workshops, warehouses, Stadiums, and High-rise buildings.
Steel Building Specification- Portal Frame The portal steel frame is a traditional structural system. The mainframe includes a Steel Column and Roof Beam, and the secondary structure includes Bracing, Strut, Purlins, and tie rods. The Structural Portal frame is divided into single slopes, double slopes, Multi-spans with multi-gable roofs, Multi-spans with double-gable roofs, and Multi-spans with single slopes.
Steel Building Specification – Type of Portal Frame The portal frame structure is mainly composed of steel columns and roof beams, and the frame is a plane loading system. To ensure longitudinal stability, which column bracing and roof bracing will arrange. The portal frame is divided into several forms,
- Typical portal steel
- Steel frame with the
- Steel frame with mezzanine structure
Bracing Structure
The portal frame，purlin，Bracing system and the metal cladding rely on each other through reliable connection and support. The main structure of the portal frame load-bearing structure is divided into two types according to the kind of rigid frame: the clear span structure without interior columns and the multi-span continuous structure with interior columns. According to the specific project, it can also be used on single and multiple slopes and spans and heights. Most foundation types adopt reinforced concrete independent foundations. According to the diverse requirements of the building for lateral displacement and deformation, from the perspective of saving steel, a variable-section beam-column, foundation hinge structure scheme, or an equal-section column variable-section beam, foundation rigid structure scheme can be adopted.
Bracing System
The main functions of the bracing system are:
- The strut beam transmits the longitudinal horizontal
- The horizontal bracing resists the horizontal force transmitted between the columns and the roof.
- Flange Bracing used to keep the stability of the outer plane.
- All bracing systems, together with purlin or wall girt and portal frames, form a space system, which ensures the overall function of the space of the structure, bears, and transfers horizontal loads, and ensures stability and convenience during the
Purlin and Wall Girt
The main component types of purlins and wall girt are C-type or Z-type steel, and the size of the cross-section needs to determine through the load calculation. Compared with the Z-section, the mechanical properties of the C-section are quite different, C section steel connects to the portal frame bolted. The Z-section can rigidly connect by substantial overlap, which can calculate as a continuous beam.
Therefore, in addition to door and window openings and other specialized areas, Z-sections should be preferred. The distance between the purlin and the wall girt usually not exceed 1.5 meters.
The application of the portal frame light steel building, which includes single-story industrial buildings, includes Warehouse, Workshop, and Storage Building, Commercial Building includes Supermarkets and Exhibition halls, and Agricultural Building includes Metal Barn, Poultry, and livestock building.
Multi-stories Steel Frame
The multi-stories steel frame is composed of steel beams and columns and can withstand vertical and horizontal loads. The frame structure should meet not only the requirements of strength and stability but also ensure the overall strength of the frame. The steel frame has ample internal space and flexible layout, which can meet the needs of different buildings, and the construction speed is fast. The steel frame structure mainly made of steel, which is one of the main types of building structures.
