To model columns for industrial steel structure using TSD

AIM

1. To create column properties for different types of pedestal members and model in the grids 
2. To create column properties for steel columns and model columns in the grid 
3. To create beam properties and model primary and secondary beams on the ground floor

INTRODUCTION

• In this challenge, we need to create columns for industrial steel using Tekla Structural Designer software. 
• We are using challenge 1 Grid 
• By using this grid alignment we will position the columns and beams 
• Hence here we are using a pedestal P1 400*600 mm and Column C1 as ISMB 350 and Primary and Secondary Beam as ISMB 250 so the procedure is as follows

PROCEDURE

STEP 1

• Open the challenge 1 file of Tekla of Grid Layout as shown below
• Select the concrete column option in Model menu
• Adjust the size of footing as Pedestal P1 600*400 mm as shown below
• Select P1 as Pedestal and given the setting as started from base to GF as shown

STEP 2

• Now select the model option and select the rolled steel column option
• Now give the setting option as GF to roof and select the section as C1 as ISMB 350
• Now save the setting of column C1
• Now place the column as shown in model

STEP 3

• Now use the option of steel beams option to place primary and secondary beam
• Use the setting as B1 as ISMB 250 
• Set the major alignment as bottom and save the setting as B1
• Select the frames from column to column

RESULT

• Pedestal with properties 600*400mm is created and placed from Base to GF
• Columns of C1 that is ISMB 350 is given to columns and placed from GF to the roof
• Beams of ISMB 250 is created and placed in Ground floor
