Hi hamzakhiri91281, Just last week I completed a similar task successfully, so I can get started on this without any ramp-up time. Two questions: 1) Please confirm wind parameters per SBC 301/ASCE 7: Vult, exposure category, topography (Kzt), importance level, and whether the canopy is fully open or partially enclosed. 2) Provide geotechnical data for SBC 304/ACI 318 checks: allowable bearing pressure, soil type/site class, groundwater level, and allowable settlement; if not available, may we proceed with SBC presumptive values until the report is issued? Two suggestions: 1) Use tapered built-up rafters/columns with moment frames in one direction and cross-bracing in the other, plus optimized Z-purlin spacing; this reduces steel while controlling drift/deflection. 2) Rework bases as compact plates with four anchors and a shear key; size isolated footings by pressure matching (incl. uplift/overturning). Use strap/combined footings only where edge eccentricity requires. Action Plan: Phase 1 (Day 0–1) Review current drawings, confirm loads/grids, collect wind/geotech. Phase 2 (Day 1–2) Develop two framing options; quick analysis and weight takeoff; select to meet 38–40 t target. Phase 3 (Day 2–4) Detailed analysis and member/connection design (AISC 360, serviceability), base plates/anchors (ACI 318 Ch.17). Phase 4 (Day 4–5) Optimize footings to 70–75 m³; check bearing, uplift, sliding, settlement Best Regards, Sid

As a highly skilled structural engineer with vast experience in the design of steel structures and industrial sheds, I am confident in my ability to optimize and redesign your steel canopy while significantly reducing the need for concrete and steel, all while fully complying with SBC 301 + AISC codes. My experience also includes working on projects in Saudi Arabia, so I am well-versed with the country's building codes as well. I will diligently carry out the task at hand, following the exact requirements to produce top-quality engineering drawings. I can also provide detailed structural calculations and complete reports, ensuring transparency throughout the entire project. You can count on my proficiency in AutoCAD and other design software, including BIM Design and Tekla - tools that I believe could be valuable for efficient documentation and precise fabrication drawings as your project requires. To further assure you of my expertise, I invite you to review my portfolio which highlights some of my best work, including similar projects involving structural design and calculations. As a bonus to our collaboration, I'm not limited to just the redesign. With my background in web designing and development, I can also assist with a user-friendly web interface where you can monitor real time progress of your project for easier communication and revision compliance. Best regards, Sakshi masih

As an experienced structural engineer, I bring a level of expertise that is perfectly aligned with your project's needs. I have an in-depth knowledge of steel structures and industrial sheds, and I have specialized in optimizing structures to reduce material quantities without compromising safety. Over the years, I've had the privilege to work on similar projects within Saudi Arabia using the SBC code which makes me familiar with its requirements. My skills in CAD/CAM have been instrumental in bringing my engineering designs to life. Whether it's for the redesign of isolated footings with pedestals, base plates, or welding and bolt details, my approach is always meticulous and detail-oriented. This is coupled with my ability to 3D model and render using software like Solidworks, Fusion 360 which ensures that you visualize the design at each step rightly aligning with your vision. Above all, what sets me apart is my commitment towards delivering quality work within the agreed timelines. My aim as a freelancer is not just to get the job done but also to exceed your expectations, provide reliable solutions that add real value to your project and build long-standing professional relationships. Choosing me for this project allows you to access proven skills coupled with great dedication, resulting in optimized design both for the structure and cost! Let's optimize together!
