Long Span Industrial Steel Shed

Project Description:

Nord Engineers provided Structural Design & Detailing for this long-span industrial steel shed. The plan area is 58 m × 70 m (~4,060 m²) with a 29 m clear span. Steel tonnage is 329 MT. The structure features a long-span curved/arched roof system with integrated longitudinal and transverse bracing, designed for industrial loading and serviceability requirements.

Engineering Complexity

Long-span curved/arched roof system with 29 m clear span
Optimized member sizing to control deflection and stability
Integrated longitudinal and transverse bracing system
Designed for industrial loading and serviceability requirements

Challenge

Achieving a 29 m clear span with a curved/arched roof required careful control of deflection and stability while keeping steel tonnage efficient and meeting industrial serviceability criteria.

Solution

Nord Engineers optimized member sizing and designed an integrated longitudinal and transverse bracing system to control deflection and global stability, delivering 329 MT of structural steel for the 4,060 m² shed.
