Design of Workshops & Factory Buildings
An Guide for Structural Engineers involved in Design of Workshops & Factories.
This section is suitable for practicing Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers, Geotechnical Engineers, Graduates
and Students in Engineering.
This section will provide a series of specialized articles for those involved in the Design of Workshops and
Factories using Steel Members, either I-beams, H-beams as Frames or Lattice Trusses. A practical and
simple approach is emphasized throughout, so quick references can be made. For more theoretical approach, readers
are to refer to Book Sections.
Engineering Tutorials, Calculation Examples, Design and Worked Examples, Drawings & Details are
all available for download or purchase.
Engineering Training & Courses are conducted regularly.
Should you have any queries, check out the Forum, or Engineers Q&A Section, or Contact Us. Technical Support is only provided to Registered Members.
