Workshop Design

07/01/2010 1:57 AM

Hi

I am busy designing a workshop for machine assembly the mass of the machine when is completely is 120tons I will be using (1x 50t and 3x 25t) cranes for lifting the challenges is the ground is wet. I need to know the size of the concrete and the stress(MPa). the length of the workshop is about 140m long and 25m width and structure type

Will the concrete be submerged in water or in soil? What is the size of the mounting plates that will be anchored to the concrete? What is the total height of the cranes?

Hire a professional engineer, please, before someone gets killed.

Yet another one that comes in here seaking freebies and trying hard to avoid paying for the services of a Licensed Professional Engineer! There ought to be a sign posted on the CR4 "Door" preventing the reoccurance of this chit, if you know what I mean........

Oh why oh why did I study engineering in the first place? Certainly not to hand out free advice?????

Hi there

Looks like you do NOT have a professional engineer to do this job for you. Get one before you regret not getting. It may be more cost for you but at the end if things go wrong you'd be paying dearly to save a small cost.

Get a soil investigation done, get a structural engineer to do the design for you before you proceed. When you say machine mass there is a good possibilty of having viberation from these 120T machines that has to be considered in design - not just direct stresses.
