Structural Calculations

When you are planning on erecting any kind of steel-frame buildingsstructural calculations are key. From a steel frame garage to industrial steel frame buildings, these engineering calculations must be planned correctly to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the build. Here at Atlantic Steel Buildings, our expert team provides these load-bearing calculations to you as part of our comprehensive, great-value service.

Unlike some competitors, all the steel buildings we erect come with a complete set of structural calculations. This means that whatever type of steel structure you choose, you receive this essential documentation as standard, at no extra cost.

What is Included in Our Structural Calculation Pack?

Our standard Structural Calculation Pack offers a comprehensive design report of all the vital structural members within the steel frame buildings we are erecting. Also included is a suitability check of the vital components in the steel structure itself.

The key elements our calculations incorporate include:

  • Primary Steelwork: Columns and rafters
  • Connections: Brackets, posts, and struts
  • Secondary Steelwork: Purlins, sheeting rails, and bracing
  • Envelope: Cladding (load transfer)

As you can see, the service we offer is not only superb value but also fully comprehensive, covering all structural engineering aspects. This allows you to confirm that all necessary elements have been covered when you choose us to build your steel structure.

Fully Detailed for Compliance and Peace of Mind

The structural calculations provided by Atlantic Steel Buildings include specific details on the strength and deflection performance of various build components. We also take the time to analyze the building frame's performance based on critical factors such as:

  • Location: Geographical site considerations
  • Environmental Loads: Windage, rain/snowfall
  • Design Loads: Any additional loadings (e.g., machinery, internal structures)

This enables you to have full access to this crucial compliance information before the build and rest assured that all building regulations bases have been covered.

The steel purlins we use during construction can be packed into very compact bundles due to their optimized shape. This allows us to transport a large building more efficiently, thus reducing your transportation costs. We are always looking for ways to give our customers better value.

CAD Drawings for Full Visibility and Planning

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is a vital part of any modern steel structure design process, and an area that we excel in. Our standard service includes full CAD drawings of each elevation along with sectional footings and a concrete slab plan.

Not only does this offer a service that is second to none for your next build, but it also ensures you fully comply with current UK building regulations and planning permission requirements.

If needed, we can also arrange soil analysis and specialized foundation design for building control purposes. All this combined adds up to an outstanding, hard-to-find structural design package.
