I'm looking at the feasibility of constructing a hangar and I want to estimate the cost of the steel needed. The building would measure 42.4x22.93 meters with reinforced concrete base and perimeter walls up to 2m height. The "roof" would be a semi-circle arch constructed of I-beams and clad with semi-transparent polycarbonite plates. What I need is the size of the arched I-beams and determine the required cross-bracing to comply with Eurocode3. For a better idea of what the structure would look like see: http://www.dallur.com/fileadmin/user_upload/perspective.jpg http://www.dallur.com/fileadmin/user_upload/front.jpg http://www.dallur.com/fileadmin/user_upload/side.jpg |

Just so you don't think that your question has been ignored, I decided to comment. Even though $100 is a reasonable price for a question, I think that you had better consider spending quite a bit more and consulting with an engineer familiar with Eurocode3. I looked at your drawings and was very impressed. |

Judging by your pictures, the hangar is very high relative to it's width. Nearly 13.5m high and around 24m wide. I'm not into planes or hangars at all, but I can't imagine any planes with a wingspan of around 20m being nearly 13m tall. Make it a lower arc instead of a circular shape. Will cut costs too. |
