Steel frame structural calculations
Our steel frame structural calculations provide a technical basis for modular steel structures, covering structural loading, member design, stability and construction requirements. The calculations assess floor joists, main floor beams, roof members and columns, considering member sizes, steel grades, bending, shear and deflection. Example calculations include S450 steel sections and checks against relevant structural design requirements. Structural loading covers floor, roof and external wall elements, incorporating dead and imposed loads. Wind loading is assessed in accordance with EN 1991-1-4 and the UK National Annex across multiple load cases and directions.
Loading, wind and stability assessment
The steel design follows BS EN 1993-1-3, while overall stability checks assess sliding and overturning, supporting the structural requirements of relocatable building supply projects. Available project documentation includes detailed Tekla Structures drawings showing proposed floor and roof arrangements, plans, elevations, section views and structural members.
Alongside the structural calculations, these documents provide supporting technical information covering loading assessments, stability checks, dimensions and structural detailing. Together, they provide a clearer view of the design approach and proposed modular steel frame, helping explain the technical requirements and construction considerations for the project.

Frequently asked questions
What do steel frame structural calculations cover?
They can cover structural loading, member design, stability checks, steel sections, bending, shear and deflection, depending on the requirements of the project.
Why are structural calculations important for a steel frame
Structural calculations provide a technical basis for the design by assessing loads, structural members and stability, helping establish the requirements for the proposed frame.
Can structural calculations be supported by technical drawings?
A. Yes. Structural calculations can be accompanied by technical drawings showing structural arrangements, dimensions, sections and the positioning of structural members.
