Design of Industrial Warehouses | Part 3: Loads and Actions 

Hello CEE, This new approach (lecture and RSAP video in tandem) is quickly growing (scratch that), It has GROWN on me. The lectures have tons of comprehensive and beautiful information and this opens up a number of options and possibilities well before one dive into modelling on the software. Keep it up. 00:45 Very nice and practical ideas, thank you for squeezing these in. These are the gist of the engineer’s conceptual (or planning) discussions with their client/architect and you have just nailed them for this series project. The discussion about the eaves struts (or beam) being used as part of the structure stabilising system and aimed to transfer axial forces is interesting. I am also unsure from the picture at 04:20 as to what exactly in that picture is connecting the apex of the portal frames together (yes, it does seem to be more than purlins). Given the varying manner in which these types of stabilisations [eaves struts or beams and/or apex struts or beams] are applied or are used by various designers in practice, I am guessing that the announced upcoming CEE video will touch upon the CEE recommendations on the use of these types of stabilization options? If not, what is the CEE recommendations when it comes to this type of stabilization? Does the CEE recommend a beam or an additional strut at the apex together with the eaves struts stabilisation? In the CEE opinion, what would be the ideal arrangement on the portal frame structure that uses these types of stabilisations (I am asking if the ideal arrangement is to use both at the same time, i.e., eaves and apex, or just one, etc)? 06:37 😊 the Bad stuff < Good stuff, “pain” v/s resistance, classic. 07:44 & 11:42 I am of the opinion that the current coverage is fair at this stage. For now, I really don’t mind hanging this idea to maybe faaaar faaaar away in the future ^_^. 11:59 Thermal Actions: Oooh, that right there is a comprehensively beautiful and practical slide, thank you Doctor! 17:07 Crane Actions: Thank you for sharing the reference. 19:17 I see the calculations and the estimation of the equivalent horizontal force that is intended to be used to “model the frame imperfections” What is frame imperfections in layman-ish terms? What causes it? and how does it manifest on the built structure? While we are still talking about “Equivalent Horizontal Forces”, are earthquake loading not taken into account in the design of portal frames (say a portal frame such as the one that the CEE is doing in RSAP on this series? ….will it perhaps suffice to follow certain EQ detailing rules on this series project structure or one also needs to do an analysis such as the Equivalent Lateral Loads methods?) and what about for the other types of portal frames that may be “BIG” in general? I have enjoyed this video and I am looking forward to the next CEE videos Keep well, DK

"Thank you for your precious time that you are devoting to teaching. Honestly, the information you provide here is very valuable. "

Much appreciated, i do learn alot and still learn something else everytime i go back to your video. Live long and prosper😁

thnk y nice tutorial like every time

Thank you for your hard work.

Thanks!!

Thanks
