Structural design services ensures stability against loads
Structural design is the process of designing effective and
innovative structures for any building.
Structural design is an important structural engineering
activity wherein a structures load
handling capacities are effectively dealt or evaluated by using
engineering mechanics. Structure
is developed for resisting all kinds of loads that are thrust
upon a building which may include
load from its own components or external loads which can be
imposed on it by natural forces
such as earthquake and high speed winds etc. That means load
resistance is an important
characteristic of an effective structure and hence when it comes
to its design development
structural engineers have to apply strong engineering principles
for tackling load related
technicalities.
Structural design services is a process wherein various
sub-processes are involved which are
accountable for providing individual engineering solutions to a
variety of structural engineering
problems. First of all structural engineer develops a design,
which is effectively represented in
papers through structural drafting and detailing process,
wherein detailed drawings are
developed. Structural drafting and detailing is carried out by
experienced drafters and detailers
who have tremendous knowledge of drafting software. Detailed
drawings developed during
structural detailing are used for fabrication of steel
components and for assembling the structure.
Fabrication drawings are specially developed by detailers for
the utilization of fabricators who
manufacture structural elements (such as columns, beams, trusses
and joists etc.) by viewing
details from these drawings. In the absence of fabrication
drawings which are also called as
structural shop drawings, fabricators cannot manufacture
structural components as no other
document contains such huge details about individual structural
components. These drawings are
effectively checked by engineers before their information can be
used by fabricators. After
structural drafting and detailing, modeling process begins,
wherein the structural design is
developed in 3D, which provides enormous clarity about it.
Design pitfalls are effectively
identified by modelers and structural engineers by during
structural modeling. After structural
modeling process, clashes are also identified by structural
design team by performing clash
detection services. During clash detection structural elements
are checked for collisions against
the elements of other disciplines.
Apart from that structural analysis is also performed wherein
design capacity in terms of its load
resistance is effectively checked, after which strong structures
are successfully developed.
