A multibay melting shop and fi nish mill building—The multibay melting shop and fi n-
ish mill building is a complex structure that houses several heavy duty overhead electric
travelling cranes. These have high vertical dynamic impact (40%) and 10% horizontal
transverse crane surge on the crane girders, subsequently transferring impact on the sup-
porting members. The structural members have been analysed and designed to resist the
structure design codes of practice Eurocode 3: Part 1-1 and Part 1-8: Design of steel struc-
tures for buildings and Design of joints. Included is the comparative analysis of results for
model design of a beam and column applying Euorocode 3 and BS 5950. 2000. The fol-
lowing relevant Eurocodes applicable to the analysis have also been included: Eurocode
0: Basis of structural design (BS EN 1990:2002) and Eurocode 1: Densities, self weights,
imposed loads, snow loads, wind loads, and cranes and machinery.
This book will be invaluable as a practical design guide and reference text book for
fi nal year university students, newly qualifi ed university graduates, practising engineers,
consulting engineers working in the design offi ce and at the construction site, and for those
appearing for professional examinations.

The structural complex under consideration is to be built in a developing country. The
procurement of steel within the timeframe of a project is sometimes diffi cult; however,
ensuring that the appropriate construction material is used is paramount when the func-
tions of the building are considered. Moreover, selecting a material that supports speedy
construction avoids delays to the project, which consequently impacts on production and
operational costs; the construction of the building lies on the critical path and is considered
to be in the sequence of the operational process. Also, the structure carries very heavy
overhead cranes with appreciable degrees of mechanical vibration during operation, thus
generating some fatigue stress in the material.
Considering the above points, we conclude that we should choose steel as the construc-
tion material for the above building.
