This studio on steel design sought to evaluate the many requirements involved in a project , evaluate the behaviour of the structures under various loads, design and detail the structure appropriately. The project is a type of staging structure, to design a G+4 distillation plant building. The applicable codes were followed in the computation of wind, seismic, and other loads. Spreadsheets and STAAD Pro software were used for load calculations and member and connection design. Arteries of the project involve space truss design, member design, connection design and its thorough detailing. It was a great learning experience.

A brief overview of project
Systematic procedure involved in design of flooring material, secondary beam and the view for subsequent plan arrangement of beam and column
Intrinsic load calculations and its application
Wind load calculation especially for an open structure and its implementation in the project
One of the vital part of the structures i.e., structural members and space truss design
Representation of typical connections with some artistic touch
Moment and elevation bracing connection
Image showing a typical lap splicing for column, and also important truss connections
Typical column lacing and the one which makes the base is firm at its position i.e., the base plate design
The base, the anchor for whole structure, the image shows the foundation design with "anchor bolts", and last but not the least project comparison followed by learning outcome
