Supporting Structure of Single-Story Warehouse Hall – Bachelor’s Thesis by František Hovorka
Designing a steel structure for a warehouse hall is no easy task, but František Hovorka from the Czech Technical University College of Civil Engineering successfully tackled it in his bachelor’s thesis. By first conducting a thorough load analysis, he laid the groundwork for the entire design of the hall's roof and wall cladding, the main frame, bracing, and partition wall components.

In the design of perforated steel beams, the web buckling is a critical concern due to the reduction in stiffness caused by the perforations. While perforations reduce weight and material usage, they also weaken the web, making it more susceptible to buckling under compressive or shear loads.

🚀 New Model Available to Download: Unstiffened Bolted End Plate Connection 🚀
We are excited to announce a new model to download that demonstrates a double-sided beam-to-column connection using an unstiffened bolted end plate designed to resist moments. This type of connection is commonly used in steel structures where moment resistance is required, but without the need for additional stiffening elements.
This model presents:
✅ A precisely constructed bolted joint for optimized load transfer
✅ Modern bolted connections ensuring structural safety and efficiency
✅ Detailed connection technology with optimized material properties

Our latest article explores the crucial role of Joint-Structure Interaction (JSI) in structural modeling and design, specifically in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9. JSI refers to the complex behavior at the connections between structural elements, such as steel members, where forces like axial loads, bending moments, shear forces, and torsional moments are transferred between the joint and connected members.
