This learning series walks through the full design path for a steel warehouse structure, starting with loading assumptions and ending with final structural verification. It is aimed at engineers and learners who want a practical workflow rather than isolated calculations.

Key topics covered in the series:

  • Wind load analysis using IS-875
  • Earthquake loading using IS-1893 and related provisions
  • Steel structural design checks
  • Load combinations for governing cases
  • Final design verification and review

Lessons

Part 1

Introduction and setup

Project framing, geometry setup, and the overall warehouse design workflow.

Part 2

Wind load analysis

Step-by-step wind load evaluation using IS-875 guidance for steel warehouse systems.

Part 3

Earthquake analysis

Seismic loading workflow using IS-1893 and related design assumptions.

Part 4

Structural design

Member design logic and structural checks for the warehouse framing system.

Part 5

Load combinations

Combining governing wind and seismic actions into final design load cases.

Part 6

Final design verification

Closing verification steps and design review for the completed warehouse model.
