Project Overview
PH Design were asked to review the wind loading on an existing steel frame which required retrofit panels to allow its continued use.
In the absence of the original design we worked from first principles to calculate design loads and connection forces for the existing frame, which was used by the client for safety critical training to prepare flight crew before working in a live environment. Additional panels were to be added to the steel frame, altering the forces on the members and connections.
PH Design's Role
Following assessment, we were able to design the new elements as well as justify the existing structure by adding bracing and new wind panels to meet the required architectural design.
