To calculate dead and live load for industrial steel structures and to apply them using TSD

  1. Calculate dead load in design report based on IS code and apply dead load on the model
  • Finishes of 50mm
  • Slab as per design
  • Brickwall 150mm thickness
  • Roofing load based on purlin size
  • Ceiling loading 0f 0.3KN per sq m

Step by step procedure:

  • open teklka software and model the beams columns as required positions
  • specify the column and beams specifications
  • and then calaulate the load cases as per given conditions
  • Now go to model select the load cases under the load tab
  • create the loads which we want to apply .
  • then generate the load combinations
  • after that choose the level and load type to apply loads on the structure.
  • take area load to apply dead load to the slabs.
  • similarly apply the brick wall loads to the applied levels.







  1. Calculate live load in design report based on IS code and apply live load on the model
  • Assume the loading based on IS 875
  • Roof loading
  • Consider equipment loading as 5KN per sq m

To calculate the live load as per the design step by step procedure:

  • proceed with the same procedure as mentioned above .
  • choose imposed load at the load type and change the value according to the above data the each room.
  • follow the same type and load at second level also.




  1. Generate a calculation for 5T crane loading based on following inputs
  • Centre to Centre of wheel = 10m
  • Weight of crab = 40 KN
  • Number of wheels = 4
  • Wheel base = 2m
