Structural Design of Steel-Framed Warehouse Buildings

Abstract

In the "Steel Structure Building" course, Civil Engineering students are given a major project to design the structure of a shopping center in Bandung using steel as the primary material. The design specifications include BJ34 steel, a building height of 8 meters with two floors, and a 5-meter distance between beams. SAP2000 v22 software is used to analyze dead loads, live loads, and seismic forces. The structure incorporates the following steel profiles: columns (H 400 x 400), beams (IWF 400 x 200), trusses (IWF 400 x 200 channels), purlins (C 200 x 80 channels), and bracing (angle 100 x 100), all of which have been tested for load resistance. This steel structure design results in a safe and stable building model that meets real construction standards.
