I need a reference documents for design of steel superstructure of Powerhouse of Hydropower Project. Which will be best software for structural analysis of the steel superstructure?? Above from the service bay there will be steel structure. Autodesk Robot structural analysis tool will be appropriate ?? Will be mine great pleasure if i could find some sample of design report as reference only. Look forward for the suggestion.
Thank you

If you currently lack the references (or knowledge of the references) or the design tools (or knowledge of the design tools) to design a steel structure, I think a power plant is the wrong place to begin...

You need a structural engineer on your project.

They are coming out of the woodwork today.

@phamEng Thank you for you suggestion.Actually i need design report of that particular task as a reference purpose.

So you need the structural calculations for the steel framing of a powerhouse?

Most of the powerhouses I have seen are reinforced concrete.

What country are you in ??

@msquared48, I need sample of design report only for reference.yeah, but steel structure can be the good solution for powerhouse.

If you only need a name of the project for reference, check out The Kingcaid Hydroelectric Project in Canada, built in late 1990s. The steel framing was modeled/designed using STAAD.

@PPantha
How do you intend to use the reference when/if you find it?

@ThomasH , I just want to have design know-how of such structures being in the same hydro-power industry and our company is trying to take a bid for design,supply,fabrication and installation of such structure so. That's the story.
Thank you.
