Description
With modern computerisation, structural analysis and design practice have changed significantly over the last two decades. Design practice now requires robust design methodologies that can save time, produce cost-effective solutions, reduce human error, and be able to produce fully compatible building information models (BIM). In this context, the paper presents a robust design approach for a composite steel frame building project. In this approach, structural steel elements can be modelled, analysed, design and detailed in a unified computational framework based on the ‘MasterSeries’ software package, which incorporates design variables, material specification, loading combinations, connection details, default set code standard criterion, computational solver, composite beam design, detailing procedures, bar bending schedule, etc. To demonstrate the applicability, the design methodology was applied to a live building design project in which a 3D model of the two-story composite steel frame building was developed and designed as per the Eurocode EC3 standard. The output results were compared and validated through theoretical calculations established as part of the design process. The results are presented in terms of the member sizes established, bending moment and shear force diagrams, including connection details of the structural steel elements. In addition, the model developed was found to be fully compatible with the building information modelling process incorporating other engineering disciplines, such as architectural and mechanical/electrical to develop a fully co-ordinated federated model in order to identify and resolve potential cross-discipline design clashes. To resolve design clashes, Naviswork software was used throughout the BIM process. It is concluded that a cost-efficient, fully integrated design can be successfully achieved using the integrated methodology presented herein. Moreover, the work presented can be used as a reference study for future similar structural engineering building-design projects.
