Industrial Structures are unique because they are typically designed to fulfill a specific function within an industry (such as oil & gas) or to support equipment, raw materials, or communication lines. These structures present complex challenges to structural engineers due to their narrow scope, size and requirement for efficiency in design. As a result, tools like RISA-3D, RISAConnection, RISAFoundation and RISASection are required in order to achieve the specific project requirements of industrial structures.
Model, analyze and design steel & concrete structure that supports equipment, piping or materials.
Define connection types in RISA-3D and transfer reactions to RISAConnection for final design of shear, moment, brace and base plate connections.
Leverage superstructure model and reactions to design foundation elements including spread footings, mat slabs, retaining walls and piles.
