// Overview
The project involved the design of a steel portal frame structure for a warehouse facility, including global stability analysis, member sizing, and connection detailing. The structure was designed to resist both vertical and lateral loads in accordance with UK standards.
// The challenge
Achieving an economical design while ensuring adequate performance under loading conditions required careful optimisation. Balancing structural efficiency with constructability and cost constraints was a key consideration.
// The outcome
A practical and efficient structural solution was delivered, meeting performance requirements while minimising material usage and construction complexity.
