Industrial Steel Structure Design

K-HOME primarily provides design services for portal frame steel structures. Portal frames are a traditional structural system. The upper main frame of this type of structure includes portal frame beams, portal frame columns, bracing, purlins, tie rods, gable framing, etc.

The Portal Frame has the characteristics of simpler supporting load stress, clearer force transmission path, faster component production, easier factory processing, shorter construction period, so it is widely used in industrial buildings.

The Structural of Portal Frame Divided Into Typical Portal Frame, a portal frame with crane, and a portal frame with Mezzanine floor.

Typical Portal Frame

Portal frame structures are typically designed with widths of single span, double span, and multi-span. When the width is within 30 meters, a single span structure is often the most economical; if it exceeds 30 meters, internal columns are generally required to ensure structural safety and proper load-bearing capacity. K-HOME is always customer-oriented, ensuring high-quality construction while striving to achieve optimal economic benefits through optimized design.

portal frame with crane

In manufacturing enterprises, cranes are often required for heavy object handling. To ensure the stable operation of the crane system, a dedicated crane beam is typically added to the portal frame structure. For steel structure workshops with lifting equipment requirements, it is recommended to incorporate crane loads and operational requirements into the overall design from the initial design stage. Portal frames with cranes require comprehensive consideration of both crane loads and the overall workshop load, ensuring building safety and stability through systematic design, thereby supporting continuous and efficient production operations.

K-HOME, based on years of professional experience, provides clients with integrated steel structure workshop solutions, from structural design to crane system integration. This comprehensive service capability is a significant advantage that distinguishes us from other suppliers.

portal frame with Mezzanine floor

Steel structure buildings with mezzanine floors are typically considered for projects with specific needs in the following scenarios:

• Space Consolidation Needs: There’s a need to increase usable area within a limited footprint, such as arranging storage, office, or production areas on different levels to improve space utilization.

• Functional Zoning Needs: There’s a desire to achieve multiple functions within the same building, for example, using the lower level for production or storage and the mezzanine for offices, exhibitions, equipment storage, or auxiliary work areas.

• Process Flow Needs: Production processes or material flow require vertical connections, such as using a mezzanine for material transfer, buffering, or top-down transport.

• Cost Control Needs: When budget or land constraints exist, expanding usable area through a mezzanine is more economical than expanding or building entirely new.

• Structural Adaptability Needs: Existing factory buildings have sufficient height but insufficient floor space; adding a mezzanine allows for rapid functional expansion, and the lightweight steel structure shortens construction time.

K-Home offers customized design and construction services for steel structure buildings with mezzanine floors, tailored to the specific usage scenarios and load requirements of its clients. This ensures structural safety and compliance while achieving efficient space utilization and flexible functional configuration.
