Self-framing structures?
Self-framing structures?
(OP)
I am responsible for designing a few skids (the underlying beam support structure and the frame of the self-supporting structure.) The columns will be HSS (typically 5x5") and will be located between the outer cladding sheet and the inner liner. I am going to space my frames every 2.5 m, and will need girts and purlins. I have designed girts and purlins for typical industrial/gable type rigid frames but never for self-supporting frame structures. How will these purlins look and how will they connect to the HSS frames? And the bracing as well? Skid is only 6.5 m high.
Also, I am to design the lifting lugs, to be located somewhere on the underlying beam support structure. What is a good place to locate these lifting lugs? (Beam web, flange, etc..)
Thanks,
Clansman

Lifting lugs on end of extended floor beams, probably centred on top flange.
Hope I understood your problem.
