Composite frame for an industrial building
Design and structural sizing of a composite frame for an industrial hangar, compliant with Eurocodes.
Context
Design of a composite frame for an industrial hangar-type building. The assignment covers profile selection, structural sizing and Eurocode compliance. The difficulty sits in the materials and processes associated with the profiles, and in assembly techniques — while remaining competitive against more traditional technologies.
Approach
Compova’s scope covers design and structural sizing. Interfaces with the client’s technical and product management for the specification, and with part and material suppliers to secure the technical choices.
Result
Technical validation of the concept, with an economic study to assess costs.
