  • LGS Framing. When to send .sdp file

    LGS Framing. When to send .sdp file

    Do not send .sdp files when RFIs are outstanding and drawings not approved.

    We have 2 cases where client fabricated off approval model when RFIs were not cleared. They could fabricate only beause we sent all the files to them. Hence going forward no machine files, .sdp files to be sent to client until all rfis are cleared and drawings are approved.

    This will prevent them making anything from approval drawings.

  • Modelling of LOT 6 (No.5) MAPLE COURT

    • This Building is a Two-Storey Building covering an area of 152. 40-m2
    • It has ALFERSCO, GARAGE, LOWER LIVING, UPPER LIVING, KITCHEN, OFFICE etc.
    • We Model the building only with Light gauge steel structure with given Architecture Plan.
    LOWER LEVEL PLAN
    UPPER LEVEL PLAN

    COMPLEXITIES FACED DURING MODELLING

    We listed and explained some complexities occurred during the modelling, and how it carried out to solve the problems were shown below;

    FLOOR JOIST IN WET AREA

    The Consultant drawing shows Recess from (50-75mm) of floor for wet Area.

    • So, we found difficulties to achieve same Floor joist to run on both normal and wet areas.
    • We did changes by adjusting on top chord of joist and add Vertical web very near to step down, and Engineered the Floor Joist successfully.

    LOWER ROOF TRUSS

    •  There is discrepancy between Arch & struct drawing in lower level Roof Truss orientation. We finally go with Arch drawing because it was conceptually correct.
    • We proposed this to client and they also accepted it.
    • Then the lower Roof Trusses is engineered Successfully.

    LOAD PATH ON TRUSS TO WALL

    Trusses should have proper bearings with walls to carry the load flow from the Roof to the ground. If the load bearings are not applied ,the truss will not be engineered.

    MODIFICATION OF TRUSS IN A/C UNIT

    • Here, ceiling height is reduced to suit location of Ducted AC unit within roof cavity.
    • First, we run the roof truss evenly in all the area, and adjusted only the ceiling height as per in structural drawing.
    • And our client suggested modifications on those trusses.
    • Then we cut the Roof truss located in AC duct area by adjusting the bottom chord height. And apply additional point load to withstand the load factors.

    Additional truss details

    Based on the Roof pitch and consultant drawing details the Box soffit was created for roof truss & Floor Joist. Refer the below snap.

    Based on the structural steel Height, cut was provided in Floor Joist. A typical section view was mentioned below.

    For a/c duct, a cavity was provided in Roof truss(Web). A typical section was mentioned below

    Final Layout and output Files:

    The following things are get covered in Layout file.

    Flooring system details.

    Roofing system details.

    The following things are get covered in Output Files.

    • Truss fabrication Drawings for each truss and it contain all engineering information’s.
    • Frame Dimensions details for each frame.
    • Steel Report by Group, width and Gauge details.
    • We can export IFC Files and DXF files.
