Gaspro Warehouse Relocation and Site Evaluation

Relocation of a prefabricated metal building. Design of the vertical and lateral system to divide the building along the ridge to make it into two separate buildings. The structure is supported laterally by modified rigid frames in the strong direction and by rod bracing in the transverse direction. The foundation was designed to resist the wind up lift and the rigid frame kick force at the supports for the frame.
