PROJECT REPORT-5
INDUSTRIAL BUILDING DESIGN USING SAP 2000 SOFTWARE

Abstract
The modeling of a single-story industrial building in SAP 2000 software. The structure employs a steel
frame comprised of rafters, purlins, and stanchions. ISWB section sizes (ISWB 600, ISWB 300, ISWB
200) will be selected based on their capacity to handle dead loads of 10 kN/m2, live loads of 4 kN/m2,
and wind loads of 8 kN/m2. The building is 20 meters long and wide, with the 20-meter length divided
into four 5-meter sections. The height varies, with a base of 14 meters and a central peak of 16 meters.
This abstract serves as an introduction to the analysis of the structural behavior under these conditions and
the determination of member design requirements.

Introduction
This report details the modeling of a single-story industrial building within SAP 2000 software. The
structure utilizes a steel frame consisting of elements such as rafters, purlins, and stanchions. Steel sections
will be chosen from the ISWB range (ISWB 600, ISWB 300, ISWB 200) based on their capacity to handle
the applied loads. The building dimensions are 20 meters in length and width. The length is further divided
into four 5-meter sections. The overall height varies, with a base height of 14 meters and a central peak
reaching 16 meters. The structure will be subjected to dead loads of 10 kN/m2, live loads of 4 kN/m2, and
wind loads of 8 kN/m2. This report will analyze the structural behavior under these conditions and present
the member design requirements.

Procedure
Steps for Modeling the Industrial Building in SAP 2000

1. Define Model Properties:


o Select "3D Frame Model" as the model type (1.1).
o Specify the number of stories as "1" (1.2).

2. Model Building Geometry:


o Utilize the "Nodes" and "Beams" functionalities to create columns at grid intersections,
ensuring proper elevation changes for the central peak (3.1).
o Model rafters spanning between the elevated central columns and beams at the lower level
(3.2).
o Include purlins running perpendicular to the rafters to support the roof (3.3).
3. Create Grid System:
o Use the grid generation tools to define a 20m x 20m base grid with columns spaced at 5-
meter intervals along both axes (2.1).
o Introduce an additional grid line at the center of the model to account for the varying height
(2.2).
4. Assign Material Properties:
o Define a steel material with appropriate properties for the chosen ISWB sections

5. Define Sections:
o Utilize the "Section Properties" menu to create library entries for ISWB 600, ISWB 300,
and ISWB 200 sections (5.1).
6. Assign Beam/Column Sections:
o Assign the appropriate ISWB sections to the beams and columns based on their anticipated
load demands (5.2). This may involve analysis and iterative selection.

7. Apply Supports:
o Define fixed (fixed translation and rotation in all directions) supports at the base column
nodes (6.1).
8. Define Loads:
o Apply a dead load of 10 kN/m2 on the entire roof area (8.1).
o Define a live load of 4 kN/m2 on the roof area (8.2).
o Apply wind load according to the relevant code provisions, considering the building
geometry and location (8.3).
9. Define Load Combinations:
o Create load combinations as per design codes to account for various loading scenarios (e.g.,
dead load + live load, dead load + wind load) (9.1).
10. Analysis and Design:
o Run the structural analysis to obtain member forces and deformations (10.1).
Utilize the analysis results to perform member design checks and refine section sizes as
needed (10.2).
Result
Analyzing the single-story industrial building model in SAP 2000 yielded positive results. The chosen
steel frame configuration, utilising ISWB sections (ISWB 600, ISWB 300, ISWB 200) effectively
resisted the applied dead load (10 kN/m2), live load (4 kN/m2), and wind load (8 kN/m2). The
member design checks, considering the varying building height (14m base, 16m centre), confirmed
that the selected sections possess the adequate capacity.
This successful analysis demonstrates the structural integrity of the industrial building design under
the specified loading conditions. The optimised use of ISWB sections ensures a balance between
strength and material efficiency.

Conclusion
This report documented the modeling and analysis of a single-story industrial building in SAP 2000
software. The steel frame structure, comprised of rafters, purlins, and stanchions, utilized strategically
chosen ISWB sections (ISWB 600, ISWB 300, ISWB 200) to ensure efficient load carrying capacity. The
analysis successfully demonstrated that the design can withstand the specified dead load (10 kN/m2), live
load (4 kN/m2), and wind load (8 kN/m2), considering the central height variation (14m base, 16m
center). Member design checks confirmed the adequacy of the selected sections. This project serves as a
valuable example of using SAP 2000 to optimize steel frame design for industrial buildings, achieving
both structural integrity and material efficiency.
