Industrial Buildings: Design And Renovation 2016

The presentation sheds some light on the common practical challenges in the design of industrial buildings. The first part of the seminar explores the design for new construction, including typical framing systems, design of crane runway beams and crane supports, foundations for building structures and equipment, anchors and embedments, and design for serviceability. The second part deals with renovation of industrial buildings, including such topics as code analysis, strengthening of framing for vertical loads, wind and seismic retrofit, and foundation strengthening. The issues of building expansion and rehabilitation of the building envelope are addressed as well. The audience is encouraged to ask questions throughout the presentation, and the seminar concludes with the final Questions and Answers opportunity.
