Warehouse - Masserano (BI - ITALY): August 2009 - November 2009

Collaboration for the supply of the structural calculations and checks as a part of the plant located in Masserano (BI - ITALY). The warehouse consist of a steel superstructure with dimension in plan of 114,0mx28,0m and height above ground of approximately 22,0m. It is supported by transversal frames spaced about 4,0m with roof trusses. The stability against lateral forces (wind and earthquake) is provided by the portal frames in the transversal direction and by vertical bracings in the longitudinal one. The total weight of the steel structure is about 270ton.
The load analysis, calculations and checks, have been performed according to the italian structural codes: "D.M. del 14 gennaio 2008" and subsequent "circolare del 2 febbraio 2009". According to the italian laws, for structures to be erected in the seismic zone 4, the seismic analysis can be performed by the static force procedure.
