Structural design involving metal typically focuses on creating frameworks, supports, and load-bearing structures using materials such as steel, aluminum, or alloys.
Customized Designs
Structural design
01
Material Selection
Choosing the appropriate metal based on factors like strength, weight, corrosion resistance, and cost.
02
Load Analysis
Determining the loads (dead loads, live loads, wind loads, etc.) that the structure will bear and designing it to withstand these loads safely.
03
Structural Analysis
Using engineering principles and software to analyze the structural integrity and behavior of the design under various conditions.
04
Connection Design
Designing connections between structural members to ensure they can withstand the forces and loads they will experience.
05
Safety Standards
Adhering to building codes and safety standards to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the design.
06
Fabrication and Construction
Collaborating with fabricators and construction teams to ensure the design is implemented accurately and safely.
07
Maintenance Considerations
Designing for ease of maintenance and repair over the structure's lifespan.
08
Environmental Factors
Considering environmental factors such as temperature variations, seismic activity, and exposure to corrosive elements.
