Computational analysis of structure manufactured by means of the steel framing system. Case study: industrial warehouse

Abstract A study is carried out between the traditional system of industrial warehouse construction, which characterized using hot-rolled steel profiles, in comparison with Steel Framing system, uses low-thickness cold-formed profiles. Although profiles used may generate mistrust, these work by shape and not mass. being a modern our region it easy to find constructed for main secondary elements, so this only focuses on constructive aspects, but also contributes understand physical response different loads. Between two mentioned systems, seismic-resistant design structure included first check if possible use medium warehouse, located highly seismic areas, such as coastal Ecuador. It has been proven that resistant high winds, earthquakes other loads are established national international regulations, we proved taking advantage effective properties increases their resistance The results drifts demonstrate value 0.00107 maximum inelastic drift obtained X direction, represents 5.37% allowed standard.
